We break down the neuroscience of sensory overload using visuals and metaphor so you can navigate the experience of sensory overload and meltdowns without shame or judgement of your sensory needs.

No two nervous systems are exactly alike. This resource is filled with areas for you to apply the information to your situation specifically and encourages you to make the plan that works best for you, with no overarching agenda other than your well-being.
When you know what to expect, your nervous system DOESN'T have to spent so much energy on it
make your holiday plan
One of the hardest things for neurodivergent adults in holiday settings is getting lost in everyone else’s needs and plans, and not ever having time to do what you need. Making a simple plan for the most important parts can be a game changer in helping you stay more regulated.
