A Mother’s Journey Through the Early Sensory Signs of Autism and ADHD

Indiziert: 2026-05-16

In this episode, “A Mother’s Journey Through the Early Sensory Signs of Autism and ADHD,” we step into the deeply personal and emotional experience of a mother who began noticing subtle signs long before there was a diagnosis… sensitivities that others overlooked, reactions that felt “different,” and behaviors that slowly revealed a child experiencing the world in a unique way. What if sensory struggles are not “bad behavior” but a child’s way of communicating overwhelm? What if difficulties with sound, touch, food textures, clothing, movement, focus, or emotional regulation are early signals that deserve understanding instead of judgment? This conversation explores the often-missed early sensory signs of Autism and ADHD, and how awareness, observation, and timely support can completely change a child’s developmental journey. From navigating confusion and self-doubt to learning how to support her child’s sensory and emotional needs, this episode highlights the power of listening to parental instincts and recognizing the signs that many families experience silently and alone. 👉 Watch the full episode on YouTube | Autism Connect – The Dolly Show ✨ Special Guest: Niloufer – Parent Niloufer is the mother of an 11-year-old son diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.
