サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Welcome to another delightfully chaotic episode of CTRL + ALT + Think! Megan and Amy dive into the wild world of sensory sensitivities and quirks that come with neurodivergence. From haircuts that felt like a ticklish nightmare to discovering the soothing magic of head massages, the duo shares their personal sensory highs and lows.
They explore how sensory experiences vary—from the agony of certain sounds (hello, fingernails on a chalkboard!) to the sweet relief of vestibular input like swinging and spinning. Along the way, they unpack the different senses—touch, sight, sound, smell, taste, proprioception, vestibular, and interoception—and how these can be intensely soothing or downright maddening.
Amy recounts her surprising rage triggered by streetlights at night. At the same time, Megan reveals her struggles with sound sensitivities and the overwhelming smell of other people's clean laundry. They also touch on sensory coping strategies and the importance of self-awareness in managing these traits.
So, buckle up and join them as they navigate this sensory smorgasbord. You might find a few relatable moments that make you say, "Same!"
