I have already read many books, related to stimulus processing, autism, adhd, high sensitivity and imaginal thinking. In this article I zoom in on the books I have read on the theme of stimulus processing and autism.
This book by Barbara de Leeuw is mainly intended for (young) adults with autism and/or adhd. Here too you will find a stimulus profile to look at for yourself with which you have difficulty with over and or overstimulation.
But you will also find signals that indicate how you can notice that you are overstimulated, for example sweaty hands, you get hot. And signals of understimulation such as being tired, lethargic, unable to take action. A stimulus processing list indicates how you can experience this for each sense. After all, this is different for everyone! You will also learn to set your own boundaries and to become assertive if necessary.
You also learn how to avoid over-stimulation or understimulation, but you have to practice well and you have to want to do it yourself. There are also many exercises to work on the difficulties surrounding your stimulus processing.
In this book you can read about the history of stimulus processing, but also how stimulus processing in all forms can occur on all senses.
In this book, Olga describes how information processing is done step by step in people without and with autism. It contains nice examples about people with autism and how they experience the world when over- or under-stimulated and how they sometimes deal with it. For example, people without autism see a hammer, and that’s it, they see the whole thing, but with many people with autism you first see the details, you see the handle, then you see that it has a long handle and that the headpiece is metal-like and then you see, okay this is a hammer!
This book is not so easy to write but I recognized a lot of myself in it. Among other things, seeing details like with that hammer. There are also treatments in this book and a profile of sensory information processing. Finally, in this book you will find information about both hypo and hyper sensation (hypo is under reacting and hyper is about reacting).
This book is again about sensory perceptions in people with autism. This also contains a sensory stimulus processing profile to find out what you have difficulty with on certain senses. Furthermore, tools are named that help to deal with stimuli. For example, a massage, fidgeting with things. And did you know that balance is also 1 of your senses? This in between… But you can also read that in this book.
Everyone must have read this basic book about autism by Colette de Bruin ! She describes a method by putting on the auti glasses (by looking at the eyes of someone with autism). She has devised a method around clarity on the questions and situations that are unclear, so: WHAT? is my job. HOW? Am I doing my job? WHERE? Will it take place? WHEN? Should I do it? WHO? is involved? In this way you provide clarity on all questions for someone with autism. Colette clearly describes an approach that can work for anyone with autism! She explains how the brain of someone with autism works and how you can notice difficult situations or behavior by asking about it in an autism-friendly way. What also works is to visualize / draw your explanation to make the situation clearer. Many people with autism benefit from this!
This book is specifically about people with (and without autism) of all intelligence levels and ages. In the book auti-communication , Colette de Bruin describes a clear approach or method to communicate with people with autism and to make things clear and to put them on through the auti-glasses (looking through the eyes of someone with autism). You learn to tune in well to the person with autism. This book describes the different worlds between communication by people with and without autism. You will also find many and clear examples and tips in the book to learn how to apply. Colette de bruin herself says from surviving to living with autism! I think this makes a lot clear.
This is autism, one of Colette de Bruin’s latest books. In this book you literally learn about how autism works in the brain. This book was also created by Dr. Fabienne Naber. She has researched this scientifically and in this book she literally describes how this works and where the 8 malfunctions in the brain cause you to have autism. The book contains nice and clear images/pictures to visualize the explanation. For each malfunction in the brain, you learn why this is and why or how this happens in the brain with someone with autism. You can also read how someone with autism reacts in certain (difficult situations). I think this is a great book! It is clearly written and the nice pictures/images in it clarify the text.
