This innovative book places the sensory experiences of autistic
individuals within a sociological framework. It instigates new
discussions around sensory experience, autism and how disability
and ability can be reconceived. Autism is commonly understood to
involve social and communication difficulties. Less commented upon
is the sensory challenges faced by those with autism. Sociology is
no different, focusing on communication and neglecting the sensory
dimensions of experience. Sensory experiences and relations are
central to how we understand and navigate through the natural and
social worlds, and mediate our interactions with other people,
objects and spaces. In this book, the author explores how these
processes are affected by the favourite activities of autistic
people. With real-life case studies and cutting-edge research, this
book will be useful to students, autistic people, advocates and
carers, disability studies researchers and sociologies of
disability and the senses.
