The ways our brains process sensory information are manifold. For some, integrating multiple sensory experiences—like the humming of voices, the flickering of fluorescent lights, and the Bing Crosby Christmas album on repeat—poses no significant neurological challenge. A holiday crowd may irritate the majority of people. But it doesn’t inhibit them from carrying out routine chores.

If you’re like 5 to 16 percent of the general population, however, the same commotion may trigger a cacophony in your cranium you can’t escape.

The percentage of those with sensory processing challenges rises among those on the autism spectrum. If you have dyspraxia, dyslexia, dysgraphia, or ADHD (like me), it doesn’t get any easier. Sensory overload may interrupt your day-to-day functioning. If you’re highly sensitive, overstimulation may be all too familiar.

The positive news is that as an adult, you can learn skills to create brain-friendly conditions.
