In my previous post I briefly discussed how occupational therapy helped me in this post I will be going into further detail on how it did just that. The first thing that occupational therapy did was expose me to different sound frequencies through a form of music therapy called listening therapy which helped by getting me used to those different sounds so that I don't get overwhelmed by them. The next thing that it did was that it helped me learn to manage my stress levels or as they described it "my engine" and the way that this had helped was by allowing me to know when I am feeling overwhelmed so that I could tell my parents or a trusted loved one that I need pressure, which I have explained in an old post of mine titled "how I don't get overwhelmed". The last thing that occupational therapy did was identify my lifelong Migraine that I had, which also I discussed in another old post of mine titled "The Challenges I Had While Growing Up With Autism" by taking action to get rid of this migraine I was then able to progress further in my development as a person and I was finally able to speak without issue. In conclusion the way that occupational therapy had helped me was by exposing me to different sounds through listening therapy, teaching me simple stress management skills and by taking care of a lifelong migraine which helped me further my growth and development as a person.
