Do you ever feel overwhelmed by noises, lights, textures, or smells? Or maybe you need extra stimulation just to focus or feel calm? You could be experiencing Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) — a condition that affects how your brain processes sensory information.

In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, we explore what SPD is, how it relates to autism and ADHD, and practical strategies to manage sensory challenges in everyday life.
