The sensory world in profound autism
Eight senses, not seven. And sensory seeking is easily mistaken for overload.
This guide works through the senses one by one and their connection to nervous-system regulation. The key chapter separates sensory seeking from overload, because they can look identical from the outside while requiring opposite responses. It includes a practical sensory diet and a chapter on the sensory binder as a tool.
