WHY DO I FEEL DIFFERENT?
Book Summary
This book offers an essential guide to understanding sensory processing difficulties in childhood, a frequent underlying cause behind diagnoses such as ADHD, behavioral problems, or autism. The author, Bárbara Viader Vidal, explains why many children feel different and how their reactions to touch, movement, or pain can be more intense or weaker than usual. A practical work for families, educators, and professionals seeking to understand and support child development through sensory integration.

The author explains that these alterations often stem from sensory processing difficulties: some children perceive touch as aggressive, do not feel pain normally, or react extremely to movement.
