THE AUTISM ADHD PODCAST

• The Emotional Toll of Sensory Sensitivities: What Autistic & ADHD Kids Feel That Adults Often Miss

  https://www.youtube.com/@autismadhdtvwithhollySensory experiences shape how neurodivergent kids feel, think, and show up in the world — and when those experiences are overwhelming, confusing, or dismissed, the emotional toll can be enormous. In today's rebroadcast, Holly Blanc Moses (AuDHD therapist, evaluator, and mom) gets deeply personal, sharing powerful stories from her own childhood and adulthood that reveal what sensory differences really feel like from the inside. From the "sock struggle" to being pushed into a pool, to finally standing under a waterfall at 50 years old—Holly opens the door to understanding sensory experiences in a way that is validating, compassionate, and unforgettable. Whether you're a parent, therapist, or educator, this episode will help you see big reactions, meltdowns, refusals, or "sensitivities" through an entirely new lens: ✨ One rooted in sensory distress, not misbehavior. ✨ One grounded in emotional safety, not compliance. ✨ One that teaches us to believe kids—even when we don't fully understand. Because when we understand sensory needs, we understand the child. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What sensory overload actually feels like for many autistic and ADHD individuals Why sensory distress often leads to emotional dysregulation or meltdowns How invalidation ("You're being dramatic") impacts long-term emotional wellbeing Why believing kids' sensory experiences improves trust, attachment, and regulation Holly's personal sensory stories (you may see your child or client in them!) Who This Episode Is For: ✔ Parents of autistic & ADHD children ✔ Mental health therapists ✔ Educators, school staff, and support professionals ✔ Anyone who wants to better understand sensory differences and emotional regulation If you've ever wondered, "Why does this tiny thing create such a big reaction?" — this episode will give you the clarity and compassion you've been searching for. 🥁🥁🥁🥁 MORE Great information for you!  The 135 School Accommodations for Autistic & ADHD Students Guide is now available, including three detailed cases with accommodations for ONLY $27.95 What's Inside: 📚 Academic Supports (45 accommodations) From pre-teaching strategies to assistive technology, the tools students need to access the curriculum without barriers 🎨 Sensory & Environmental Supports (22 accommodations) Create a learning environment where your child can focus, regulate, and engage—not just survive 🧠 Executive Functioning & Self-Advocacy (24 accommodations) Build the skills that will serve them for life—organization, time management, and speaking up for their needs 🤝 Social Supports (21 accommodations) Turn recess and group work from nightmare to opportunity with structured, supportive approaches 💚 Mental Health & Emotional Regulation (23 accommodations) Because learning can't happen when a child is overwhelmed, anxious, or in crisis Plus: ✅ An example of each accommodation ✅ 3 detailed cases along with accommodations ✅ Tips on how to identify areas of need ✅ Free helpful education resources Don't miss this opportunity to access 135 neurodiversity-affirming accommodations for only $27.95 ➡️ Parents click here ➡️ Therapists click here ➡️ Educators click here You are going to LOVE this guide!
