Sensory Regulation for Autistic People
A Neurodiversity-Affirming Guide to Understanding and Supporting Sensory Needs (2026 Edition)
 
This 120-page professionally designed digital handbook provides an in-depth exploration of sensory processing and sensory regulation in autistic individuals.
 
Fully revised and significantly expanded in 2026, this comprehensive resource explores how autistic people may experience and process sensory input differently across the eight sensory systems, and how these differences influence emotional regulation, behaviour, energy levels, and daily functioning.
 
Combining clear explanations, practical strategies, and reflective worksheets, this guide helps readers better understand sensory experiences and identify supportive approaches that respect individual sensory profiles.
 
Developed by Amanda Moses, a neurodivergent psychologist, this resource is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming framework. Rather than attempting to change autistic people to fit their environments, the focus is on understanding sensory differences and supporting individuals to create environments that allow them to feel safe, regulated, and able to thrive.
