My son is autistic but has fewer sensory issues. the more specific you can be about what your son struggles with the more I may be able to offer.
There are a lot of things you can do at home. The tools that are marketed for autism are often very expensive but I would be happy to help you with affordable alternatives if something is suggested.
My favorite thing is my weighted vest when I get overwhelmed (you can google OT vest. The others are not as good in my experience).
anyway... I work in the field but not a Dr,.OT or speach therapist...just someone with a lot of experience so feel free to ask away!
Thanks Omers! If I can think of any other q's I will ask them. Thanks for the tips!
