Critics Review
Through the eyes, ears, nose and mind of one autistic woman, Sensing the City takes us on a vividly described and detailed journey through urban landscapes. Sandra highlights many of the tiny elements that make autistic life both stressful and magical on a moment by moment basis. – Sarah Hendrickx, Autistic Adult and Autism ConsultantThis book makes it clear just how important sensory sensitivities can be to an autistic individual. Whilst these are usually seen in a negative light, the author stresses the positive aspects as well, and in doing so, follows in the footsteps of Temple Grandin and others. – Nick Chown, author of Understanding and Evaluating Autism Theory
