✨ October is National Sensory Processing Awareness Month! ✨
For many individuals with autism, the way the brain processes sensory information—such as sounds, textures, lights, or movement—can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, or even painful. Others may seek out extra sensory input to feel balanced. 🌟
By raising awareness, we can help create more understanding, acceptance, and inclusion. Simple adjustments—like offering quiet spaces, dimming lights, or using sensory-friendly tools—make a big difference in supporting comfort and participation for autistic individuals in everyday life.
At Autism Society Acadiana, we’re committed to spreading education and building a community that embraces all sensory needs. 💛
👉 This month, join us in learning more, sharing resources, and advocating for sensory-friendly environments across Acadiana!
