Sensing the City : An Autistic Perspective

Explore the sensory benefits and challenges of cities, while learning to understand the different ways in which a person with an ASC can experience the city from a sensory perspective. Sandra Beale-Ellis, who has been clinically diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, describes her personal journey through city life, covering four main areas; travel, eating out, entertainment and living.
