#sensoryprocessingdisorder — Public Fediverse posts

Why are sensory friendly clothes so hard to find? The only stuff I've found is outrageously priced. I spent $400 this week to get 1 pair of jeans and 3 bras. I'm grateful that I have the means to pay those prices every now and then, but how do less privileged folks with sensory disorders function? Am I looking in the wrong places for comfortable, hardware-free clothes that fit well and make me feel good?

Does anyone with kids with a #SensoryProcessingDisorder (or have it themselves) have a #recommendation for a cooling weighted blanket? Ideally something that can be used on the couch (e.g. not a bed sized comforter) or even just a brand rec? My #4yo has #eczema on top of their SPD and getting too hot under a normal blanket has made their eczema so much worse now that summer is here...

#BoostsAppreciated for visibility, it's hard to decide what my #4yo will like when I can't relate to their sensory needs :/

Semi-related aside: my #4yo has to be constantly in contact with me if we're sitting side by side (they have a #SensoryProcessingDisorder). Which is fine but lately they're a freaking space heater little ball of sweat.

Might be time to get a small #WeightedBlanket for them.

I hate that my brain, when I'm having a feeling or an internal reaction while listening to another person, shuts down all the other channels--listening, seeing--to receive that impression or feel that feeling.

All the other data drops out. As if it never got recorded.

I might catch a key word here or there, or remember a fleeting instant of an impactful facial expression, but it's all broken apart spotty bits like that from there on forward. I often have to reconstruct how those disjointed pieces flow in a coherent statement or narrative later, based on contextual clues and the general gist of the conversation.

I miss so much precious, important-to-me information in my interactions with people I care about because of this phenomenon.

🤬😤

(TL;DR I hate that I can't have a feeling and continue listening to you at the same time.)

Hello! You can call me mystic or resilient. I slowly migrated from #Twitter as of today but I will still be active on Twitter. I'll just have both accounts and go back & forth from each platform. I use my socials as an anonymous outlet & for support because support is not available or there in my personal life. I mask 24/7 and people who think they may know me, do not know me at all.

I'm extremely introverted. People think I'm extroverted but I'm really not. I'm socially awkward and it's painfully excruciating to even make eye contact. It feels like my eyes are drilling into someone else's soul if that even makes sense. I'm also very random. I can be hyper at times.

Anyways, I was diagnosed in my early 20's with #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder, #Anxiety, #Depression, & #CPTSD. I'm still waiting to get assessed for #ADHD and I'm slowly embracing my neurodivergency. I had no idea what being #Neurodivergent was until recently and I started reading and following a bunch of other Neurodivergent users.

I've never really felt accepted anywhere but in the neurodivergent community and it feels like family to me. It feels like I belong.

While growing up, I have had doctors tell me that i have #OppositionalDefiantDisorder and #SensoryProcessingDisorder - There has never actually been a diagnosis. There should have been. Professionals do not really take me seriously. It's because I'm able to mask and function normally. But people don't see how easily frustrated I can get. It's there. So is the anger. It's just hidden.
