Ben-Oni, founder of blackneurodiversity.com, talks with us about how she came to understand her own sensory needs. She explains the role that sensory regulation plays for both ASD and ADHD brains and how it is way more similar than we might think. She delves into the ways our sensory needs evolve from day to day and the complexities of both craving and resisting certain sensory inputs. She also shares how “variable sameness” helps her feel grounded, some of the other ways she regulates her own sensory needs, and how being so dysregulated in her twenties impacted her life.
