Being a neurodivergent child can be EXTRA hard - it's so difficult to find the words to explain what's causing stress or to know what's wanted and needed. I am taking the guesswork out of it for you and suggesting items to help reduce unnecessary or unwanted mental processing and provide relief for little minds. In here you will find a range of things that are focused on creating sensory underload for neurodivergent (ADHD/autism/dyslexic/dyspraxic/dysgraphic/dyscalculic/OCD) children. I genuinely do not believe we should ever ‘grow up’, so anything you find in here is also great for anyone of any age (as well as pet-friendly). Be kind to your mind and surround yourself with wonderfully neurodivergent-friendly items to create the mental peace, cosy relaxation, comfort, and gentle fun that we all deserve 🪁🫶
