How To Create A Sensory Space At Home

[@cosimaflumerfelt4802]

Dealing with background noise when trying to hear something being said is a huge problem for a lot of autistics. It would be welcoming to not have to deal with that so it's easier to get the information you're trying to give us.

[@Listenclearly1979]

That's a thing?? I thought it was just me. Up until a year or two ago I couldn't work out why even though I could hear what was being said and knew the meaning of all the words being used, it felt like I couldn't 'hear'.

I have make my storage cupboard into Sensory space & it’s great

[@Listenclearly1979]

My daughter has moved out so I have a room just for me now. I hate small spaces as I I'm claustrophobic, yet I can't be in a bare, bland space. I can't have lots of bright colours. I like black and green the best and I like deep and dark colours. People always say,"You need more colour!" No I don't! 😂

[@lindada1111]

Dark colors tend to give the feelings safety and comfort, like in the belly of a mother, if done right.

Good video Dan! For the next one I would recommend turning the music down and maybe finding a different less party type song it is quite distracting. Also, the white flashes in between the different ways to create a sensory space were quite bright however I am watching in the dark so that probably affected my sensitivity to light. Other than that this is useful and great tips 👍

[@wendyheaton1439]

A good collection of ideas but the not background music drove me to major distraction mode. I had to mute and read the subtitles!

[@jjgems5909]

Omfg what is that cricket sound?!? I thought it was in my room and it was driving me NUTS! Lmao 🤣

good thing walmart now has sensory shopping 8-10am weekly now

[@Listenclearly1979]

A supermarket near to me has a sensory hour. Once a week. I went in one day and couldn't work out why I felt so calm. Then I saw a sign about the sensory hour. They lower the volume of the music and turn off half of the lights. Why can't they do that all the time?

[@gothpanda6605]

So here i sit watching this to help myself create a space for me... only to find that your describing exactly how I have my bedroom set up 😅

[@NatachaWasylykVinette]

[@CherrysJubileeJoyfully]

[@TheAspieWorld]

[@saml4004]

Yeaaah the sound effects about did me in on this one too. Not sure what it was about them lol

[@Mr.Glitch]

I thought there was a particularly violen t cricket in the garden. Went inside and the twitch inducing noise was still there. 😆

[@anthapersephone7311]

It’s a very busy soundtrack 😅

[@michellelambert6039]

[@carlaoberfoell1482]

[@im-watching]

amazing video edit 💥💥

[@katie1353]

Minecraft music is the best ❤

[@zeeenno]

Ironically, the music and sound effects in this video is distractingly loud. Two minutes in and it’s sensory overload. I can’t finish it.

[@grahamexeter3399]

I made it to 3' and had to give up for the same reason. The music's too frenetic and overwhelming for me.

[@soda9121]

Love your videoss

[@Escurador]

It is so hard for me to understand you... I am a Catalan guy from Barcelona, I am learning English, but you speak so fast... xD But I love your content!! Salut!

[@Catlily5]

I put on closed captioning (CC) to read while he talks. Like subtitles.

[@Cadysmith2194]

You can change the playback speed by going to settings in the top right corner of the video.

[@Escurador]

@@Catlily5 👍

[@Escurador]

@@Cadysmith2194 you are right... thx for the advice

[@Listenclearly1979]

It's strange, I can handle bright sunlight( I live in Australia, it's blindingly bright), candles are great, lightning is beautiful. But cold white light, artificial light is awful, almost painful. My light bulbs have to be the old school yellow type

[@helengibson818]

I hate natural light. It’s pretty depressing

[@JustMe_OhWell]

😁

[@sksk-bd7yv]

Could you please remove the background music?

[@josiahbowden1451]

It ant cheap 😂

[@lindada1111]

I have birds and they are one of the only noise and movement i can tolerate all the time. They ARE my sensory space at home. 🤍
