Understanding Sensory Processing

Sensory processing is an important topic for anyone who loves and cares for a child who have experienced ACES. Because of their histories, these children often experience altered brain development which impacts the way in which they process sensory data.
In this brief video, Dr. Karyn Purvis explains what sensory processing is and why an understanding of it is vital for adoptive and foster parents.

Dr Purvis, can you speak to those of us on the Autistim Spectrum or parents of kids with ASD regarding the hypersensitive sensory over load issues and autism... my centeral processing Disorder causes me to hear every thing around me and not habituate out the non-dangereous sounds. I tend to analyze almost all of the sounds i hear. Its not just a helicopter flying over head. i often know what make of helicopter by the rotor rythem and noise etc. it the plane climbing under full power or ideling etc.
