Let's Propose a Toast to This Book!,

This review is from: Asperger Syndrome and Sensory Issues: Practical Solutions for Making Sense of the World (Paperback)
This is an excellent book that looks at Asperger's, which is a neurobiological condition that affects sensory processing and integration. I like the way explanations are provided about a/A behavior and responses, e.g. sound sensitivity.
Many sensible suggestions are made for helping the neurotypical (NT) population navigate on autism/Asperger's territory. That is a pleasant reversal as people on the a/A spectrum have always been expected to make all the concessions and meet all the demands the NT population has made. After all, the world is for EVERYBODY and that includes people on the a/A spectrum.
