As Autism Acceptance Month winds down, something that has been on my mind lately are sensory needs, and I was wondering what yours look like?

For me, honoring my sensory needs can look a little like this:

❤️ Wearing noise-canceling headphones or noise reduction earbuds if I'm stressed or overwhelmed

🧡 Using my weighted blanket or getting a strong hug from a trusted person

💛 Avoiding touch and removing myself from situations if I'm extremely uncomfortable

Share yours with me in the comments below. P.S. Your needs are so valid. Sending strength and solidarity to you. 💜
