Online store (plus two shops in QLD) for families with sensory and other neuro-divergent needs, owned and run by Aussie Mums diagnosed as adults with ASD & ADHD, and raising children with the same wiring... all about spreading love, awareness & knowledge.
"The Crash Bag Creators" - a poem about our origin story
Here's a little thing that our founding owner and director (Jenna) wrote in early 2020.
We feel SO MUCH gratitude for Jenna's amazing parents (Nanny & Poppy), and the huge part they have played in the Sensory Super Heroes story.
We want to acknowledge how important they are and the huge impact they are having in our world, and the huge difference their contribution is having on so many kids and teenagers (and their families) with traits of Sensory Processing Disorder, Anxiety, Autism and ADHD... all around Australia.
Thank you Nanny & Poppy (our Crash Bag Creators) for being so special, talented, caring and hardworking.
Please comment if you have received one of our Crash Bags! If you live in SE QLD you may have met Nanny & Poppy when they delivered to your door! 🥰

Professor Tony Attwood Interview Autism Anxiety Sensory Epilepsy
I’m currently diagnosed with Bp2 and adhd (inattentive) but my daughter feels like I’m autistic as well (she is very high functioning autistic). I see so many aspect of myself here (and my brother and father) but I’ve always been really high functioning with very good interpersonal communication skills… which I don’t think fits?? I really really resonate with the build and meltdown cycle and when I’m ‘hypomanic’ I cry every day and go through rapid emotional cycles. I really don’t know whether my diagnosis is complete or whether it matters. It’s very frustrating and exhausting. 😞
Doby you ferl he on the same wavelengths as us petsonally i did ❤
Tony said to share his videos so i shared eith all family who present need the support with tony attwood help x ❤
Bless tony is hero I agree
He understands you because his son has autisum he not just text book dr he's genuine so listen man
That little girl is me😊❤
Hi chloe!
This is fantastic. I learned so much. Thank you for doing this video. You are my hero!
How much a slant board should be inclined from the table surface?4 inches or less or more?which is best position for hands, arms and eyesight.my daughter has mayopia
I just love him so much ❤️ the amazing professor Tony 🌟
only nazis are obsessed by intelligence. game over atwood
Your not nice man listen to tony correctly
@@JamieLees-gd8cs i call him adolf
@@JamieLees-gd8cs you idiots dont realize, autism is just intelligence. and atwood knows exactly what he is doing and treat intelligence as a disability....!!!
Fascinated by the insight he is giving us , late diagnosis, brings greater understanding of simply being me , yet equally how to become more insightful for self , and others around me ❤
Professor Tony Attwood has an excellent appreciation for the ASD experience, and the challenges it can bring. Physically, life has raised countless physical discomforts, so it can seem like life is simply addressing or chasing down issues. Dr Artwood brings a new kind of awareness, which I think will be a gift for so many. Its a pleasure to find this content available in the public domain
Thanks ❤
Does this work?
Our Body Socks are very popular with Autistic & ADHD customers as they are so soft, cuddly and stretchy! They're not only ideal for stretching and jumping around in (giving much needed sensory feedback) but also ideal for a little hide-away if they pop their head inside and curl up!
Wouldn’t be surprised if Tony Attwood is autistic, himself.
Aspergers more like man x❤
I'm a doctor!!?😮wow, my husband is aspenger, and my 3 boys are aspenger, and yes, I do have intuition 😅 thank you for my honored PhD❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this . I'm 75 and autistic, as is my so and his son, and we are all epileptics. But I really wish I''d been autistic diagnosed as a child. My mother used to say I was the most courageous person she knew, but I never understood. For me, if you're not surging, you might as well be dead.
its a girl lying on the sensory swing not a boy mate.
Either they made a mistake, or the child identifies as a boy
Adults are autistic too, we were autistic kids. We still exist when we pass 17 😏 - next, .. is the fact that many times I have shut down from being in conversation with people and had absolutely zero anxiety; it was just an overwhelm from audio and social processing which as you would know is a lot harder for us since we take in so much other stuff around us and have other thoughts going on all the time.. like seeing things that aren’t aligning and being bothered by it not being patterned perfectly!
Tony, you are a God send!! I would like to suggest this should also apply to self diagnosed autistic adults who have taken all of the online tests there are, studied all the info they could find, and lived a life of bullying, being ostracized, and been unemployed and underemployed because interviewers ask questions that don't mean what the words say, and other weird things. My parents don't and won't understand what autism is, and I had an extremely hard journey getting a formal diagnosis, but I'm so glad I did! It's given me answers and permission to be me. I recently discovered you, and learned a lot. I don't know if you see any of my comments on videos, but THANK YOU again for all you do for us!
I love this comment so much. Thank you for sharing this here, over a year ago.
I’m crying I just… so much in my life makes so much more sense now. I had epilepsy as a child starting at 2 years old, then grew out of it as i got older. As an adult in my 30s I’m just now recognizing all the signs of autism I’ve had since i was a child, now that we have so much more information. It feels… so unfair… and I don’t know how to find help or resources. And I feel like even if i tried, i’ve been so “high functioning” all my life… how would anyone believe me?
So I am 47 years old. Do I have an honorary degree in myself?
I was thinking the same.
Does he realize HE'S a hero? That's how I see him. I love his videos. They're so comforting after over 50 years with no support.
He's a villain like all these shysters that say autism is a 'gift'.
Glad to have found this video! Thank you!
This video has been immensely helpful for me to understand my fourteen year old undergoing a terrible time with acute anxiety attacks with aggression and rage which I am sure now are perhaps subclinical seizures that couldn't be traced in his recent EEGs even a month ago. I am a physician from India and a dance & movement therapist working with adults and children with Autism for last eight years. I had attended your training in New Delhi in 2016 and had been immensely benefitted. Your videos with explanations are really helpful. My research area as a Medical physiologist is also Neurophysiology of Autism.
I appreciate this man so much
This man is very helpful and i understand myself so much better because of him. But that shirt and chair is very distracting.
Dear Dr. Atwood. Thank you for your great work. Despite being a woman and none diagnosed, I believe I may be somewhere on the spectrum. My meltdowns have been described as childish temper tantrums and I'm constantly being put down by family and neurotypical men who enjoy mocking me. I have been lonely and suicidal for much of my life. When I tell the idiots that how they are behaving is hurting me, they don't care. I feel really angry with them. So many years, I've been a loner with NOONE to connect to. I've been told that I'm weak because I'm so sensitive and bullies always get away with it. It's like a nightmare. I joined a group of neurodivergents and it was such a relief. We put on loads of conferences to TRY to raise awareness and understanding in the neurotypical community. I see NO improvement in society. It's WORSE
You are not alone, Cristina. You have just described my life too. I don't have any magic words to offer you as an often hollow answer but just know you are not alone. Please don't give up, foe you, your life are precious. Make sure you leave as much time as possible for your 'special interests and move away from those who hurt you. You neither deserve nor need them in your life. Lots of love and cyber hugs from the beautiful Isle of Man 🇮🇲
Autism. Is. A. Genetic. Disease
Epilepsy is really the worst thing I got!
Omg my sister started to get epilepsy and so intelligent I said she defo aspergers but no one wood listen
Do you use filters to help with triggers to strobe lighting I were vista mesh to help with my changed axis X they good for these problems hope it helps you ❤❤❤❤❤
The constant “mmmmm” by the interviewer(?) is pushing my sensory button.
For those of us with impaired hearing, a lapel microphone would be much appreciated.
Or even an auditory processing disorder which seems to be common in people with, err, autism.
@@llewellynjones1115 Llewellyn..... I had never even heard of APD. Now, after researching the topic, I believe I may have it. My IQ is OK with regard to written instructions, written math problems, etc., but plummets when confronted with verbal problems or instructions. Similarly, I can understand only one speaker at a time, with no background noise or distractions. I always thought I was just plain dumb - now I know there may be a physiological explanation, even though in practical terms it all boils down to the same thing. Thank you! (PS. - I am 73 years old.)
@@nicolasuribestanko Like so much of autism, it seems to be on a spectrum - like hearing things in one environment and not in another. I struggle to be sociable in noisy environments - would rather go home and have a cup of tea. It got worse when I got hearing aids - too much input requiring too much processing.
Muh kidz
Yes, It is SO painful which is why I constantly look for alone time.
#Solutionhealinghome on UA-cam has working herbal treatment for Austism spectrum and speech delay
Thank You.
I thanked my lucky stars when I stumbled on this gentleman explaining autism in females. Still need to listen to him regularly to believe it to be true.
please do not call me a sensory super hero, its pretty cringe
I think Professor Attwood's comment is for parents of little children, to show that their struggles growing can be a gift. Also, I reckon it's preferable to be on the spectrum, than be someone who struggles to feel
He's my new favorite psy ever
Magnificent
The first statement you said is so true. I wish I could understand what my son is going through but it is so hard for me to understand how difficult it really is.
Considering this material is for people with sensory issues, it would be great if you could ditch the loud music. You can't even hear him. Music just gets in the way of focusing on what he is saying. And when you have other text on the screen, just put the text up solid until people have a chance to read it, then remove it. Do not play with fancy letters or colors or fonts, no flashing in case an epileptic is triggered by strobe lights, and don't have the text drift on and off the screen is strange ways. Just stable, solid text, let us read it and remove it. Thank you
Great suggestions and good point. Please make certain to say “please and thank you” signed typical human. 😉
@@mmp495 I did say thank you
More people have to watch this!

That was really interesting as my Aspie son was diagnosed with petit mal seizures when a child. I didn't know that I'm on the spectrum too until a few years ago but I did wonder about having had the petit mal due to having the same symptoms when young. A pity that I didn't realise I was also aspie, but I had absolutely no sense of self-awareness, and it was a long time before much was known about the condition and/or the amount of information was available either.
Wow. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy at 14 years old, grand mal. Just now beginning to wonder if I'm an aspie. Each time it happens I lose hours of time until my brain... comes back online. The only way I can describe it. I hate losing time, waking up in a hospital and not knowing how I got there or who undressed me. Did I hurt anyone (if I Was driving)? It's awful, luckily has been controlled for many years now. I hate driving. I tried to find out what causes seizures and they told me maybe puberty, but it didn't go away in my 20's. I have the brain waves of an Epileptic is what they say after my EEG's. I now think my mother had Asperger's and all my siblings as well. It would explain so much. I wish my parents were still alive so I could ask them questions
@@recoveringsoul755 I know exactly what you mean. There are so many questions I would love to be able to ask my late parents. I don't think Asperger's was much known about at all when we were children, even among psychologists. I do remember seeing a documentary programme on tv about children with autism when young. A lot of them rocked backwards and forwards and it was used by my family to shame me, as I loved to rock in the same way to music for hours, but even that didn't click with anyone as there was no general knowledge available about a spectrum of differences. I'm sorry about the epilepsy you have to contend with and wish you all the best. :)
@@DevonExplorer the parent I suspect had stimming behaviors. We were only allowed one friend on our birthday parties. Either because they couldn't handle a bunch of kids, or thought we kids couldn't. I saw a channel of an aspie go through their childhood photos, they looked bored, or looking away most of the time. I'll need to check mine
I thought he was Sting!!
I have Asperger's AD HD OCD realy bad anxiety and depression, I dont have a job, and no friends, not much family
@@KD-wn9cm Not good really
@@KD-wn9cm Thank you
I am sad to know that this is more likely to be my future as I even tried to work for a month and kind of got fired for an unknown reason... I wish both of you find a good job. this is such a horrible neurotyipcal 🌎 world.
Same here :(
Same here :-/
Could heat be a sensory sensitivity ?
Yes! So can the cold. Im personally over sensitive to the cold and need extra blankets, warm clothes and hot water bottles during winter/autumn/spring. But im under sensitive to the heat so i dont get bothered by that.
@@gusbellamy1490 thanks for the answer , that explain a lot , I am quite the opposite ... i feel like I am dying in heat , I get really kranky, agitated , and super uncomfortable ... other times I heel hot when people around me feel ok ....
I can feel heat / cold suddenly and find it hard to manage the discomfort. Haven’t been diagnosed but my partner has Asperger’s
The ambient volume level is set so low I can't hear what he is saying..... Never mind.
It's so great to listen to him. ✨
Great video, but I had big difficulties reading the text, because of all the changes in colour and light. I am an autist myself. Why not just write the text normally?
Yup. . Me too
