Series 10: Neurodivergent in Wonderland

Episode 164: Tea with the Dormouse — Sensory Overload and Sensory Processing


Our Wonderland journey in “Neurodivergent in Wonderland” brings us to the tea table once again, where the quiet Dormouse reminds us of the delicate balance between rest and overwhelm.


In this episode, we explore sensory overload and sensory processing—how everyday sounds, lights, textures, and environments can either soothe or overwhelm a neurodivergent mind. Like the Dormouse who drifts in and out of sleep amidst the chaos of the tea party, many navigate the push and pull of sensory experiences, finding refuge where they can. We’ll discuss what sensory overload feels like, why it happens, and ways to create sensory spaces that foster calm and balance.


✨ Pour yourself some tea, settle in gently, and join us as we listen to what the Dormouse has to teach about navigating a world of sensations.
