Imagine your body as a phone receiving signals and messages. Normally, your phone knows how to sort and respond to them. But if you have sensory processing disorder (SPD), your phone sometimes gets confused. It makes too much noise or vibrates too loudly when it shouldn't. This can make it difficult to do what you want, like stay calm, study in class, or play with friends.

What is sensory processing disorder and why do we need to understand it?
Dear Mr. Gantley,
I am writing to see whether you need a talented mathematician on your marketing team? My former colleague Hannah Wilson mentioned that you may be hired soon.
I have used my data science degree to outstanding effect in my marketing career thus far, diving deep into customer behaviors and seeing profit uplifts of 125% on certain projects.
I know that I will add value as you seek to increase your 12% market share. My expertise in lead targeting and customer segmentation will help you to plot the right path. I would love the opportunity of an interview to discuss my bespoke marketing analytics platform.
Sincerely,
Lois Hankett
What exactly is happening?
With sensory processing disorder, the system in your body that processes external signals, such as sound, light, or touch, doesn't function properly. This means that:
- Some people feel things too strongly. A soft sound can sound like a loud bang to them.
- Others may not feel enough. They might not notice being touched or that it's cold outside.
How do you know someone is dealing with this?
It's not always easy to tell if someone has sensory processing disorder, but there are a few clues:
- They can become very busy or very quiet when there is a lot of noise around them.
- They may not like to be touched or they may want lots of cuddles.
- Clothes with labels or seams are super uncomfortable for them.
- They might be afraid of playgrounds or they might just love spinning around really fast.
Expert tip
You don't have to mention your previous jobs at all
If you are writing a short cover letter, you might elect not to mention your previous jobs.
Your resume will give all that factual detail, so maybe just focus on other aspects of your personality and motivations.
How can we help?
If you think you or someone you know might have sensory processing disorder, there are ways to make it easier:
- Talk to a doctor or someone who knows a lot about how our bodies work, such as an occupational therapist.
- Create a quiet place where you can relax when the world feels too overwhelming.
- Find activities that help you stay calm, such as drawing, listening to music, or fiddling with something in your hands.
Stronger together
The most important thing to remember is that everyone is different. What feels perfectly fine for one person might be overwhelming for another. By learning more about sensory processing disorder and how we can support each other, we can make the world a better place for everyone.
Time to take action
If this story sounds familiar to you, or you know someone who might be struggling with it, it's a good idea to seek help. There are many ways to learn to cope with the challenges of sensory processing disorder, and no one has to do it alone.
Statistical insight
The gender gap in computing is getting worse
In 1995, 37 percent of computer scientists were women. Today, it's only 24 percent. It will continue to decline if we do nothing. We know that the biggest drop off of girls in computer science is between the ages of 13 and 17.
The source of this data is Girls Who Code , a nonprofit whose mission is “to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does.”

Highly recommended! I heard about Lotgenootje from a friend. I thought the stuffed animals were so beautiful, and a wonderful initiative for people who need it. That's why I ordered one. And it really works! The cuddle toy hugs back, very special. So I highly recommend it.
