🫧 Sensory Seeking 🌀
Many people think sensory seeking means tuff trays, slime, bubbles, or fidget toys. 🫧
But for some autistic children, sensory seeking is extremely active.
It can look like climbing high, spinning fast, rolling, crashing, pacing — moving almost constantly.🌀
My son once said that pacing back and forth helps keep his thoughts on track.
For some autistic people, movement isn’t a break from thinking — it’s what makes thinking possible. 🧠
The body moves so the brain can organise.
From the outside it can look like restlessness or “too much energy.” ⚡
From the inside, it’s regulation.
Active sensory seeking is a thing.
And it’s often misunderstood.
