• It is important to start by developing an understanding of self. 
• This can be done as a stand alone process or alongside medical professionals.

• I have yet to find a person who is autistic and doesn't have sensory processing differences to those who are not autistic. 
• Understanding how you personally sense the world around you is essential to gaining an understanding of self

• There is a strong tendancy, as a result of sensory processing differences, to be more 'environmentally' atuned rather than 'socially' atuned i.e., more in tune with the physical environment rather than the social environment.
• While we often see things in our physical environment that others cannot, others often see things in the social environment that we cannot.

• Having a greater understanding of how others are likely to be interpreting the environment you are sharing creates fewer questions in your mind and simplifies the situation. 
• Fewer problems to solve = lower stress levels.

The above are constant areas of development that we all go through as autistic people. Development in these areas, however small, enables personal growth, greater independence and a greater self-esteem. A greater self-esteem then furthers your ability to develop within the above areas. In essence then, we work together to create a positive spiral of understanding and self-esteem.
