Sensory: Life on the Spectrum
Author: Bex Ollerton, Schnumn, Laila Ahamad
Rating: 4-star
Publisher: Andrews McMeel / Simon & Schuster
I checked this book out on a lark to see Ollerton’s art, but I found the collected vignettes about living on the autism spectrum helpful, especially since it is written by all sorts of folks on the spectrum that can speak to their experience, as opposed to so-called experts.
This can be helpful for both people on and off of the spectrum: helpful for those on to see that they’re not alone, and helpful for those off of the spectrum to better understand what life is like for friends, family, and coworkers that are on the spectrum.
