Children and adults on the autistic spectrum typically have sensory processing issues. In the Purple house we use a number of products and strategies as a sensory diet to stay regulated and reduce anxiety. In todays video I’m showing you our sensory aid kit, the things we use on a regular basis and have found helpful.
I hope you like my ideas, and that something in the video proves useful to you. All the links to the products I show are in the description box on YouTube. If you do find something helpful then please share and like it. As always please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel, or signing up to my mailing list to keep up with my videos and posts.
Ella, your blog will soon be added to our Actually Autistic Blogs List (anautismobserver.wordpress.com). Please click on the “How do you want your blog listed?” link at the top of that site to customize your blog’s description.
Thank you.

Will do, thanks Judy.
Hi Ella,
that’s quiet interesting.
That cloth in which your kids can hide and stretch, I didn’t have, but I used the thing that you pull over (not the pillow, but the other part) it felt save in there,
These days I always wapear an extendable bracelet on wgich you could chew, too, a acupressure ball I found on amazon and a small stone with lines on it, sour you have something to touch and see.
When I go out with my dog, I have bone leading headphones with soft music with me and when I go to town, I have Noisecancelling headphones with me.
In my emergency bag at home I have:
– a massage ball
– my second accupressure ball
– “wands” in which flows purple and white streams with little stars and one with another combination of colours
a chicken which rattles
– two little wirpth smelling fluid (orange which I like and amoniac as an aversive return-smell)
– a 3D Mandala you can create different forms
– a flashing ball
– a ball filled with water and little prisons
At home I have a night light that creates light waves and plays nusic
We also hav rgb-light in our bedroom and in my room I have little lights
– I have 3 caleidoscope, one like a lamp in which you put little round boxes with self-mixed. figures,
– one normal which you just turn
– and for this Christmas I got one made of messing on which you put one of three Glas-balls which breaker he light (I like them)
– I have some fidget spinners, too, and they can flash
– and two of these things, zu put on the bottom and they twist around (also producing light) – I don’t know how they’re called in English
– and I have a swinging seat hanging on the wal, a rocking chair and a swinging thing in which I can lie. In ( don’t know the name)
I would be interested in how that pillow on which you can draw on is called an where I could order and these sweet ear plugs,
O and soon I’ll get my first two chewing bracelets.
And with so-called Noisers that overture your Tinnitus (paired with listening. Louder-thing, there can created programs whichever are differently noise cancelling combined with a sound against my tinnitus
And I have glasses that fits to each grade of brightness of light and gets darker then. In these glasses is also a special filter for blue in the light spectrum, so that every light doesn’t hurt anymore, but the colours are still normal.
Maybe there are some things that could help,
Bye
