The Bumps On My Socks and Other Things That Bother My Brain is a rhyming children's book that presents some of the challenges faced by children with sensory processing disorder (SPD). Clothing tags and textures, bright lights, loud noises and night terrors are some sensory issues that are included. Children diagnosed with brain disorders such as autism, ADHD, OCD and anxiety are more likely to experience sensory issues. The goals of this book are to help children with SPD learn some effective coping skills, and to help those who care for them have a better understanding of these challenges. Different children experience different issues. Hopefully the child reading this book, or being read to, can identify with some of the situations that are addressed here, and find helpful solutions that can work for them.
