Yeah, I mean, again, we don't have the scientific backing yet, but I definitely think there's a connection.
Like, for example, if someone is a sensory seeker, they're obviously noticing something in their body that they're just innately responding to.
We want to help and empower each child and adult to understand, okay, like what are you feeling in your body?
How are the things that you're seeking out?
How is your body feeling when you're seeking these things out?
Is it a regulating experience for you?
Or can we find maybe even some more experiences that could be potentially even more regulating to you?
Because we know that some sensory seekers, when they're seeking out that input, it is regulating to their body and it works.
But other times they seek and seek and seek and it's just not meeting their body's needs.
For sensory avoiders, again, I think we could say the same thing, like respectful guessing, like especially for kids that can't yet tell us, like they probably they are responding in a way that is based on the way their body feels.
They might again not understand exactly what's happening.
And as they grow, we want to help empower them with like information, um, like what exactly
Is your body responding to, for example, in this environment?
Is it the bright lights?
Is it the loud noises?
And many times my clients, they know that a certain situation is overwhelming and they want to avoid it, but they're not sure exactly what in that environment is causing them to stress.
And that's what the interception work a lot of times is all about, is just discovering that about your body so that you can be your own advocate.
You can improve your self-regulation skills.
Yeah, I that relationship is supported in published research that ADHDers, autistic people do have higher
chances of having these interceptive differences.
