What's Happening to Me?: A Sensory-Friendly Guide to Growing Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798182155106)

Growing up can feel very loud and confusing, especially for a neurodivergent brain.

What's Happening to Me? is a sensory-friendly, neuro-affirming guide to puberty written specifically for autistic girls and girls with sensory processing differences. When Sophie's body starts to change, she feels overwhelmed by the new smells, the scratchy clothes, and the big emotions. With her mom's help, she builds a "Puberty Plan" to navigate this confusing time!

This book is uniquely designed to address the specific pain points of puberty for sensory-sensitive girls, including:

• Why strong deodorant smells hurt and how to find "unscented" options.
• The sensory nightmare of disposable pads and the magic of seamless period underwear.
• How to handle scratchy bra tags.
• Creating visual schedules for new morning hygiene routines.
• Using deep pressure and heating pads to bust cramps.

Perfect for girls aged 8-12, this book equips parents and children with practical, everyday tools to make the transition into puberty safe, predictable, and empowering!
