The Sensory Series
Over the warmer summer months we'll be running a series of sensory posts relating to the senses and sensory processing differences in Autistic people.
This will include five first-person stories from Dr Dianne Blackwell about Christmas and summer in Australia. There will also be some tips on how to survive sensory overload.
