Sensory sensitivity is real. 💙

Temple Grandin has openly shared how sounds, touch, clothing, lights, and other sensations can sometimes become overwhelming. What may seem “small” to others can feel intense or even painful to someone with sensory sensitivities.

Instead of judging or forcing someone to “just get used to it,” let’s try to understand what their senses are telling them.

Sometimes, giving them space, control, and the right kind of sensory support can make a huge difference. 🫶

Different sensory needs don’t mean they are being difficult. They mean their world may feel different.

Let’s create environments where autistic individuals can feel safe, understood, and supported. 💙

When Temple Grandin was in college, she built a Squeeze Machine because she discovered that deep pressure helped calm her anxiety and sensory overload.

She wanted the comforting feeling of a hug—but with control over how much pressure she received.

Her experience is a powerful reminder that understanding a person’s sensory needs can help us find better ways to support them. 🧠💙

Different needs. Different ways of finding comfort.
And sometimes, one person’s experience can teach the world something new.

💡 Did you know?

For many autistic people, simply saying “NO” may not clearly explain what you want them to do.

Instead of focusing only on what NOT to do, try giving a clear, positive instruction.

❌ “No, don’t eat with your hands.”
✅ “Please, use your fork.”

Small changes in the way we communicate can make expectations easier to understand and everyday situations less frustrating.

Say what you WANT them to do—not just what you DON’T want. 💙

Temple Grandin on Anger and Crying

05/09/2026

Why did Temple Grandin create the Squeeze Machine?

While she was in college, Temple Grandin discovered that deep pressure helped calm her anxiety and sensory overload.

She wanted the comforting feeling of a tight hug—but she also wanted to control the pressure herself.

So, she designed her own Squeeze Machine.

For Temple, it became a way to self-regulate, relax, and feel calmer.

💙 Sometimes, understanding your own sensory needs can lead to finding your own way to cope.

Back then, Matthew would chew on almost anything he could get his hands on. 😅

A piece of water hose, batteries, crayons, toys, pencils—you name it. If it was within reach, there was a good chance Matthew would try to chew it. As parents, this worried us because some of those things were clearly not safe to chew.

That’s when we decided to try a chew necklace for him. His was a different design, but it served the same purpose: giving him a safer and more appropriate way to meet his need to chew.

For some autistic children, chewing can provide oral sensory input and may help them feel calmer, more regulated, and better able to focus.

I’m sharing this because this was part of Matthew’s journey, and maybe another autism family is experiencing the same thing. ❤️

Sometimes, instead of simply saying “Stop chewing,” it helps to ask:

“What does my child need?” 💙

Every child is different, but understanding the reason behind the behavior can help us find better ways to support them.

Always choose an age-appropriate chew tool, supervise its use, and check it regularly for damage or wear.
