Episode 8: Sensory Overload

Episode 8: Sensory Overload

In this 8th episode of Neurodivergent Struggles, Dr. Kojo Sarfo and Emily explore sensory overload and how it affects individuals with ADHD and autism. They discuss common triggers such as strong smells, loud environments, and the anxiety around trying new foods, highlighting how routines like sticking to “safe foods” and meal planning can help regulate the nervous system.


The conversation shifts to navigating social environments, where they emphasize the importance of having exit plans during overwhelming events. Emily shares how certain spaces, like EDM raves, can surprisingly feel safe and freeing, allowing her to stim and express herself without judgment despite the high sensory input.


They close the episode by addressing the stigma around ADHD medication, encouraging listeners to prioritize their mental health and quality of life. The hosts stress that personal well-being should come before outside opinions, especially when it comes to treatment decisions.
