This is where the entire concept for Dovetail Counseling comes from.... This and nine years of school. 😂

How is everyone doing out there?

“Why do I feel like everything is too much?”
If you’ve felt this, you’re not alone.

For many neurodivergent individuals, especially those with ADHD, autism, or AuDHD, sensory overload isn’t about being dramatic or overreacting. It’s a nervous system response.

Some common signs of sensory overload include:
🎈 Heightened irritability
🎈 Trouble focusing
🎈 Physical discomfort
🎈 Heightened anxiety
🎈 Avoidance of gatherings
🎈 Sensory sensitivity (sounds, lights, textures, smells)
🎈 Trouble processing information
🎈 Difficulty communicating
🎈 Increased crying or emotional overwhelm

When your senses are overstimulated, even everyday environments can feel exhausting or unsafe. Your brain and body are signaling that they need a break, not that you’re failing.

At Blue Sky Learning, our neurodiversity-affirming therapists and coaches help you recognize these patterns and co-create strategies to manage sensory overload.

Together, we can shift from “Why can’t I handle this?” to “What can I do right now to feel safe and supported?”
