Sensory Stress is common for Autistic people but it's also something that many other neurodivergents experience too. As sensory stress gradually builds, we experience increasing signs of distress.
Daily stress from systemic trauma, capitalism, the collapse of democracy, the violence we witness, and the fears we face, pushes us further along this continuum so that sensory averse input becomes even more likely to cause fatigue, overload, meltdown, shutdown, and burnout.
✏️ I'm crowdfunding my current work in progress: The Nervous System Study Guide. This is a workbook covering holistic nervous system science from a neurodiversity paradigm lens with an aim towards collective healing, not just individual soothing.

🧠 If you don't want to wait for me to finish writing the Nervous System Study Guide, you can get all the info now in video format. Topics include polyvagal basics and criticism, energetics of the ANS, the BioPscyhoSocial nervous system, Neurodivergent trauma, attachment trauma, systemic trauma, and pathways to healing.
