Season 3 Episode 2: Sensory Needs and the Struggle to Be Understood

For many neurodivergent individuals, small, everyday moments can become overwhelming events. Something as simple as ketchup on a plate can derail an entire meal. We often talk about sound and light sensitivities—but rarely do we talk about other challenges, like misokinesia and misophonia.

In this episode, Dr. Theresa Haskins shares the invisible labor behind navigating sensory sensitivities—and how these seemingly small moments don’t just impact the present, but ripple out to shape relationships, inclusion, and everyday belonging.

This isn’t about ketchup. It’s about respect, understanding, and making space for difference.
