Autistic Overwhelm, what is it, why might someone be overwhelmed, what it leads to and what helps.

#autism #autistic #neurodivergent #ActuallyAutistic #adhd #MentalHealthAwareness #neurodiverse #neurodiversity #neurodivergence #AutisticExperience #AutisticJoy #overwhelm #autisticoverwhelm
"Everyone can become overwhelmed by it is much more common for Autistic people due to experiencing the world in a different way, whether mentally, emotionally, especially in terms of sensory experiences. Someone might be overwhelmed due to sensory sensitivities, being asked too many questions/demands, things going wrong or because something has changed. It leads to meltdowns, shutdowns, increased anxiety, increased sadness and increased irritability. Each person is different but some things that help are stopping/reducing sensory triggers, giving time and space to recover, provide reassurance/stims and reducing the pressure of the situation."

With this Grant we are hoping to remove some of the barriers our students with complex physical & communication needs encounter each day and increase their independence through better access to play and educational opportunities. Thank you, HSE Foundation!! #hsef #hseschools #hsepreschool

Put your hands together—for the research-backed benefits of singing, clapping, and chanting in class! 👏

#EduSky #EducationResearch
Did You Know? Singing, clapping, and chanting together in class can: contribute to social cohesion and community, improve focused attention and sensitivity to the rhythms of language, accelerate reading acquisition, lift moods According to the neurobiologist Nina Kraus, "rhythmic synchrony"—like tapping to a beat together, or dancing together—leads to tighter human bonds based on "interpersonal synchrony." And researchers like Christina Zhao and Patricia Kuhl have found that musical skills "generalize to speech processing" and support the recognition of patterns and rhythms in language.

Introducing my girl Bailey. She is 98% sass with a side of cuddles! ❤️ This girl has no understanding of personal space and is aggressive with her love, but we couldn’t love her more! Picture taking during our morning cuddle session. #rescuedog #Baileygirl #goodmorning #doglove
