Synopsis
A colorful and eclectic comics anthology exploring a wide range of autistic experiences—from diagnosis journeys to finding community—from autistic contributors. From artist and curator Bex Ollerton comes an anthology featuring comics from thirty autistic creators about their experiences of living in a world that doesn’t always understand or accept them. Sensory: Life on the Spectrum contains illustrated explorations of everything from life pre-diagnosis to tips on how to explain autism to someone who isn't autistic, to suggestions for how to soothe yourself when you’re feeling overstimulated. With unique, vibrant comic-style illustrations and the emotional depth and vulnerability of memoir, this book depicts these varied experiences with the kind of insight that only those who have lived them can have.
My Review
This was a very interesting way of learning about different people experiences living with autism. It was a great collection of short comic strips looking at many different things. Being autistic myself, it really made me feel like I wasn't alone in some of my unique traits. I just loved all the different styles of getting their messages across. There were some great skills to learn. I felt very connected to some of them. It is also an excellent book for others to learn about what it is like being an autistic person. I feel like I understand more about myself. I definitely recommend reading this if you either want to learn more or feel connected with other like-minded people. I thought it was brilliant at getting the most important message across that we are all different and that our uniqueness should be embraced. It also had some rather shocking facts and statistics, especially surrounding work life and why it's important to get rid of all the old names for autism. I just loved all the colours in this book it certainly helped the more visual reader .
So much praise goes out to all the authors and the publisher for bringing us their stories so we can learn and have a better understanding.
