Module 3: Our Sensory Selves

Module 3

Sensory experience is central to Autistic life — yet it’s often the most misunderstood aspect and something many people may not have considered in detail.

This module helps you understand your sensory profile, develop practical strategies to manage sensory challenges, and create environments that support your wellbeing.

What This Module Covers

• Understanding your unique sensory profile — what you seek, what you avoid
• The eight sensory systems and how they interact
• Sensory overload: recognising the signs and knowing your limits
• Practical sensory tools and strategies for daily life
• Creating sensory-friendly spaces at home and work
• Building a personal sensory toolkit
