While all children can seem quirky or particular about their likes and dislikes, children with Sensory Processing Disorder (also called Sensory Integration Dysfunction) will be so severely affected by their sensory preferences that it interferes with their normal, everyday functioning. Sensory issues are usually defined as either hypersensitivity (over-responsiveness) or hyposensitivity (under-responsiveness) to sensory stimuli.

I've always had SPD and I found this really relatable and I still struggle with it to this day.
I have SPD and it's so frustrating when someone says "it's not that loud" or "just ignore it"
My dad says "Think in another thing and you will forget" ugh I hate when he says that
SPD?? nah. I have super senses.
Anyone else take a bunch of time in the bathroom tryna wash the feeling off?
@@redditus me
I have problems with my brother's noise, too. Only thing is, I get fed up when he's hard-headed. Or says the most offensive thing. "It's not that loud." Me: "Well, then me popping you with a shoe won't hurt then!" Then he stops hurting my ears. But my mother belittles my sensory issues as an "excuse" when it's far from it. I can't help that my brain has too many connections! I have to do what it takes to survive in this world, not her. She was there when I was diagnosed with Autism, and she has known that long before I was diagnosed, but she knows nothing about autism. She doesn't even try to learn.
I certainly have Sensory-Processing Sensitivity. I have found that the people I feel good about and enjoy having around do not bother me with sounds that normally would otherwise.
It's strange, but how you feel about something strongly affects how you perceive it.
At the end of the day all people have things that annoy them or are hard to cope with, it's the individuals responsibility to comprehend that they live in an entire world that does not nor will it ever revolve around them.
So, as harsh as it seems, the best help, in my opinion is to force that understanding and help them grow beyond their condition.
I don't like stupid people but I know that yelling or hitting is inappropriate and as offensive if not more than someone making a loud noise.
There is a sense of entitled, self importance that is engrained in these children when not approached in the correct way.
It's not about making them ignore their issues but it is about making them cope with them.
As a person with SPD, the easiest way to explain part of it for me is “When you *don’t* do something, they assume you *won’t,* when it’s really that you *can’t”*
I have this, although instead of meltdowns I have panic attacks, atleast I'm not taking it out on other people.
Same I think
I have SPD and this explained it very well
Hi! We are so glad you found this video represented Sensory Processing Disorder well.
@@Brainbalancecenters hi I have all 3 semptoms of the overactive sensory disorder or to sentive loud noises scare me and make me jump and I can’t help it also smells and stuff of food make me naosious or thinking about what I ate after I ate it makes me want to throw up I can’t touch my neck or like veins on my arms without gagging I’m just super sensitive and someone who’s over hyper scares me as well so should I ask my doctor about this the next time I go
ok i think i might have something like this i experience this type of stuff daily and its only getting worse
I feel that pain.
Laura Crowder same like I have this for real
I feel this
This is too accurate…
I have it and always have. When I was little my mum realised I had it but instead of trying to help me or finding out what it felt like she just labelled me and shouted at me. Ugh.

I have the same struggles I always use to get upset about getting dressed in the morning for school and when some one is fighting I can’t help but yell at them I hate loud noises like the vacuum
i dont know if what im experiencing is spd but each time im in a fast moving vehicle and look outside my body is tensing up to the point it hurts and makes me feel uncomfortable but only for a couple of seconds, until i look at the window again
I've never been diagnosed with SPD but I've always had sensitive ears, I don't like how a washcloth feels on my skin and I don't like brushing my hair because it hurts my scalp
are these signs of having it?
I have done research and I believe that those are signs of having it but I'm not a professional
@@bobaxfidgets_cloud957 ok, thank you
@@schelleluzius6527 your welcome
@@schelleluzius6527 if you think you might have spd i think you should probably get diagnosed
@@bobaxfidgets_cloud957 thank you, I probably should
i've had acid reflux and a gag reflux since i was little, so i've been very afraid to try new things. i've been able to narrow it down to wet or soft foods, like yogurt, that might have dry or hard chunks in them. any way, i have never eaten candy, and the only chocolate ive had is cookies. it is very hard for me to stand the smell of chocolate or candy. honestly, i just think it's disgusting. and also hearing people chew food makes me gag.
I have a few sensory stuff going on but not to this extreme and they're improving

Do I have it?I absolutely hate socks because of the lines.Even when there is no lines I still hate them.Also,for example,when I hot my leg on something, I have to go back and hit my other leg on it.
I have that problem too I Ha tree lines on socks and I can’t touch velvet or cotton balls.
The hitting your other leg part sounds like OCD. But the socks are spot-on, I hate them so much.
I don't like when the tv is loud and the radio and I don't like it when my mother yells at me, but I don't cry I just get stressed or mad. What does this mean
It means you are normal
It’s not nice having spd I have to bring ear defenders whenever I go out and I really struggle with finding clothes that I can wear. And food is just a different and long story.
I thought this was normal-
Everything is a disorder nowadays
@Mar A Wow, sorry I scratch the flesh off of my hands because I get intrusive thoughts about the texture of my skin, and I pull my hair if it isn't straight enough - it must be normal and I should continue because there's something wrong with me :D
It must be my fault I can't focus at school, because of some random extroverted kid rambling on and it distresses me; which means they all hate me now! And the walls cave in on me and my head feels heavy and I feel like I'm going to die because my fingernails are too long and everything frustrates me. Let's just convert our brain to mentally healthy because there's so many disorders this one must be irrelevant :)
I’m an adult and have these issues. Is it normal for adults too?

Did you get diagnosed by your therapist or your doctor
@@Sophielala-tl9gb by a doctor.
OK but they over dramatized this yes sometimes it is this bad but sometimes you don’t even realize you have an issue people just put it off as you being picky or overdramatic
