When Sensory Needs Don't Match

What happens when one of us needs quiet and another needs noise? In this episode, I share what our home looked like five years ago, before I understood sensory differences through a neurodivergent lens—and how that understanding changed everything. I talk about: Shifting from “behaviors” to needs How language and modeling matter more than perfection Managing expectations when sensory profiles collide The both-and of overstimulation and needing input Real-life things that help (headphones, breaks, “I’m overdone right now”) It’s about seeing what’s beneath the behavior and responding with respect, compassion, and care, not shame. I’d love to learn a little more about who’s here and what matters most to you.
