This blog post from Rollins Counseling LLC discusses Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), its connection to autism, and its impact on adolescents and adults. The post highlights the challenges SPD presents in daily life, including sensory overload, communication difficulties, and behavioral manifestations. It then offers practical strategies for families and caregivers, such as creating sensory-safe environments, utilizing therapies like occupational therapy and ABA, and fostering communication and self-advocacy. The overall aim is to empower caregivers to support autistic individuals with SPD and improve their quality of life. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of long-term planning to ensure continued support and independence.
