ADHD Problem of the Week: “I struggle with sensory overload!”
Why It Matters:
😵💫 It’s hard to stay engaged and focused on making positive experiences when our brains are being overloaded.
😰 Feeling overwhelmed by sensory stimuli can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and potentially the loss of control of our emotions during events and outing with friends!
🧠 Successfully managing sensory overload creates a sense of control, allowing you to navigate social situations easier.
