Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight: What to Do If You Are Sensory Defensive in an Overstimulating World Review: I like this book a lot! - This book has been a big help explaining why I am the way I am. Now I understand why I was not like other kids, teens and adults while I was growing up. Why noise, certain lights, clothing and touch bothered me. Though I loved to be touch in comforting ways. The things that grounded me and what led me to where I am today. I currently have several autoimmune conditions and I can see where my sensory issues led to dis-ease which in turn helped leave me vulnerable to disease. I highly recommend this book to people having various sensory issues or family & friends of people with sensory issues. This book explains it very well then gives you ways to cope and deal with your condition. My husband is also reading this book so he can better assist me with what I am dealing with. Review: Exactly what is needed - My copy of this book just arrived yesterday. So far it is excellent. The best part is that it specifically addresses sensory defensiveness in adults--including issues with intimacy and managing in the world, trying to function as an adult. It is written for a range of sensory defensive people from mild to severe, has a lot of suggestions for help with sensory integration and so far makes much more sense than The Out of Sync Child for this time in my life. I am making my way through it and will have to read it several times to digest everything, and I can't say I agree with all their theories on why people become sensory defensive, but what do I agree with 100%? I really like that they point out people with SI issues are constantly sent to therapy to work on their emotional issues, but at some point all the behavioral therapy and skill building and all the 'trying' in the world just isn't going to help manage sensory overload because it isn't about behavioral modification. Sometimes 'I can't' really does means 'I can't', not 'I won't'. This is so validating for someone who is constantly putting 200% effort in managing, but at the same time when even thinking about approaching certain situation (ok, many, many situations). I 'see black', shut down, and I really, truly 'can't.' It is not about laziness or even avoidance. However this book is not at all about giving up and being helpless. It gives many, many tools for creating a 'sensory diet'--plus it is written by someone who has dealt with sensory defensiveness herself. I want to convince as many people in my life as I can to read this book so they can have more understanding on why I can't just "grow up and be 'normal'." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #53,427 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #87 in Popular Neuropsychology #106 in Popular Child Psychology #253 in Popular Psychology Pathologies | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (491) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.9 x 8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0060932929 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0060932923 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | December 2, 2003 | | Publisher | Harper Perennial | ## Images ![Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight: What to Do If You Are Sensory Defensive in an Overstimulating World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612U18HVY0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like this book a lot! *by N***A on July 9, 2012* This book has been a big help explaining why I am the way I am.
