I'll go first! 😄 Here is a list of strategies I like to use:

- Learn your triggers and create a list of strategies for them

- Use deep pressure such as weighted blankets or weighted plushies

- Use stimming to help calm down

- Noise cancelling headphones, sunglasses or loops for noise and light sensory issues

- Use smart bulbs in rooms so you can dim the lighting

- Create a sensory toolbox thats easily accessible. I like to keep a comfortable pair of PJs in there as well so I know I have something I can wear that I will feel okay with.

- Have an exit strategies for events

- Have a box of sensory toys to use such as stressballs, fidgets, bubbles, playdough, chew toys, lollies.
