Occupational Therapists and Sensory Sensitivity in AS / ASD

Post Reply New Topic

Hello
I hope someone can help me.

I suffer from sensory impairment symptoms of ASD, and to be exact, I am hypersensitive to sound.
I am presently trying to get funded for medical adaptions to my accommodations.

In order to get funded, I need to get an Occupational Therapist (OT) to write a sensory report that details in medical language what the problems are, however, i live in a small island that doesn't have many people who suffer with hypersensitivity to sound, at least not to the extent that they need their living accommodation sound proofed.

So the OT that i have been speaking with has written a report, but explains that i have ASD, and also i am distressed due to sound.

The way she describes my hypersensitivity in the report however describes my problems with sound sensitivity as separate to the medical condition known as ASD.

My problem is that i think her report is inaccurate and misleading, as the problems i have with sound are not separate to ASD but intrinsically part of ASD for me.

I also am aware that it is important in terms of law, that the sensory sensitivity to sound needs to be clearly defined as part of ASD, as ASD is a disability and so needs to be addressed, instead of perhaps some problems that others have with sound which are caused by chemical imbalance (i.e. auditory hallucinations which are delusions).

Can any one recommend a solution.
Otherwise thanks for your help
thanks

I would bring up the second point with her, but phrase it as a question. Something like, "Is it important to clarify that the sound sensitivity is because of my autism so that it qualifies for funding because of my ASD disability?" Something along those lines. Saying it like a question makes the other person feel like you are asking them as the expert, not trying to correct them. I have found this works well usually. It's a trick women use when (typically male) supervisors at work get offended by correction from a subordinate employee. They say it like a question to get their point across without making anyone angry.

I would not bring up the first part, because she might take it as you are saying she is dishonest for calling them separate.
