Supporting Autism & Touch
Do you or your autistic loved one...
- Flinch from hugs or find clothing tags unbearable torture?
- Melt down during haircuts or resist toothbrushing like a battle?
- Seek intense pressure (crashing, squeezing, tight wraps) or seem unaware of injuries?
- Struggle with messy play, food textures, or unexpected touches?
Touch isn't just physical – it's emotional, overwhelming, and deeply personal for autistic children.Sensory processing differences can make everyday contact feel like an assault or leave us craving input we can't find, impacting comfort, safety, self-care, and connection.
Join our essential webinar and discover actionable, compassionate strategies to understand your child's unique sensory language and build bridges through touch.
In this expert by experience lead session, you'll learn to:
- Understand what it all means
- Identify triggers and create safe havens for oversensitivity (clothing, grooming, unexpected contact).
- Meet the Deep Pressure Need: Safely provide the intense input undersensitive kids crave (weighted tools, play, proprioceptive activities).
- Decode the Overlap: Understand how touch sensitivity impacts other senses (e.g., food aversions, sound reactivity, visual overwhelm).
- Choose & Use Sensory Tools Wisely: Explore effective solutions (compression clothing, textured toys, brushes, calming rituals).
