Proprioception:

This is where the where the issues are within Sensory processing disorder. The idea is that your muscles in your body need to be activated through deep muscle compression.

This is the reason why lots of people with Autism / Aspergers Syndrome with SPD do not like soft touch.

This is also the reason for not handling some challenging food textures well, causing all kids of autism meltdowns or upsets and spoiling what you are eating.

Another issue this can make is losing focus during the day with distractions from lights or sounds. These can impact the day to day life of anyone with an autism spectrum disorder that is co morbid with Sensory Processing Disorder.

3 - Muscle Work Out: Using heavy weights or maybe a stack of books, you can activate your muscles proprioception with this heavy lifting strategy.

I would advise doing this a few times in the day to help keep that focus up. This is going to help you focus on your next task and not on the over load of stimuli.

4 - Going For A Walking: Walking and getting outside for a walk around lunch time each day is excellent for Proprioception as this will engage your lunges, your body, your heart and leg muscles to be responsive.

Again, this is an excellent way to keep the focus up and not focusing on the sensory overload.
