For many people with brain‑based differences, the world is full of sensory “asks” that others don’t notice—bright buzzing fluorescent lights, crowded rooms, constant noise, unpredictable movement, strong smells.
These sensory responses reflect how the brain processes the world and it can be difficult for individuals with sensory sensitivities.
FASCETS Center for Neurodiversity helps people understand sensory differences through a brain‑based lens, so we can respond with curiosity instead of judgment—and build environments that reduce overload and increase success.
If sensory processing differences are part of how many brains experience the world, what shifts could our communities make to create environments that feel more accessible for everyone?
