    What Support May Look Like for BFRBs

    Kind Theory, a nonprofit supporting neurodiversity awareness education, published an article I recently wrote on finding support for so-called body-focused repetitive behaviors. This article and other great blogs can be found on KindTheory.com’s “from the authors” page, or by copying the link below into your browser:

    What do your sensory needs look like?

    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. 💜
