Um, and I like to describe that kind of as already revving at like a five or a seven.
So children who are incredibly sensitive to noises, to touch, to uh to movement, all those things, it's not like one sense will send them over the edge or one interaction will send them over the edge, but it's the
addition of you know first having to change plans when they thought something was gonna happen and then next um they have a tag that just keeps scratching them on the back of their neck and then they their shoes don't fit just right and then they can't sit still for homework and so they're struggling to focus and then you know the clock is ticking and that's all they can hear.
And all of that's compounding
And it's happening on the inside.
And on the outside, you suddenly get this outburst or this blow up and explosion.
And it seems as though it came from nowhere.
So you're you're absolutely right.
Um, so I totally understand what you're talking about.
And I've seen this happen a lot when, you know, like fidget spinners, that's a really good example as well, just like the weighted blankets, when fidget spinners came out and, you know, everyone wanted to use them.
This is like one of the top questions that I would get from people, from teachers especially, is
Well, what do I do for the kids that don't actually need it?
I only have one or two that really need it and then everybody wants it.
And my answer has always been
What if we don't know that the other children need it?
So for me.
I never knew that I had sensory needs growing up.
And I probably never would have gotten some sort of diagnosis because I wouldn't have hit that threshold of it debilitating my life, but it definitely affected me.
My daughter will probably never get a sensory processing diagnosis, but I know that when she's in loud places for a long time, she gets really overwhelmed.
And she knows to ask for her.
