What happens when one of us needs quiet and another needs noise? In this episode, I share what our home looked like five years ago, before I understood sensory differences through a neurodivergent lens—and how that understanding changed everything.
I talk about:
Shifting from “behaviors” to needs
How language and modeling matter more than perfection
Managing expectations when sensory profiles collide
The both-and of overstimulation and needing input
Real-life things that help (headphones, breaks, “I’m overdone right now”)
It’s about seeing what’s beneath the behavior and responding with respect, compassion, and care, not shame.
I’d love to learn a little more about who’s here and what matters most to you. Fill out the Community Survey here: https://www.neurodivergentnotbroken.com/community-survey
