Ask HN: My child was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. What to do?

My 3 year old kid was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder. She has trouble with transitions, has meltdowns and gets overwhelmed in public places like stores. Grabs and wants to cling on us and needs constant attention. Also very picky eater and has trouble falling asleep.

What can I do ? Should I try to minimize clutter and reduce screen time? Has anyone experienced it themselves or have anyone close they dealt with? What are some workarounds to make parenting easier and keeping my sanity while working a high pressure job? I feel very tired and can barely get any work done ( work from home) .

I recently received a coveted job offer as an engineering manager but I am so exhausted that I am planning to turn it down and stay an IC to concentrate helping my kid.
