Hi, I'm Sarah

I'm a mum to two children — Ella, age 7, who has autism and sensory processing disorder, and Jude, age 9, who has ADHD and is an enthusiastic sensory seeker in every direction at once.

I started Sensory Sorted because I spent years buying products that didn't work, returning things that should have worked, and wishing someone would just tell me the truth. The SEN product space is full of things that look good on paper but fail in practice.

Everything I write here comes from that experience — the honest, sometimes exhausting, sometimes joyful reality of raising neurodivergent children and finding the things that make everyday life genuinely better. I hope this site is the resource I wish I'd had.
