“My body needs some time and space

to stop and to reset.

This little space can really help

and makes me less upset”

The book includes pages on:

* Sensitivity to Noise- when certain sounds trigger intense reactions, leading to discomfort and anxiety often felt by autistic individuals.

* Sensitivity to light; when an individual experiences a heightened reaction to brightness, leading to discomfort and unease.

* Sensitivity to touch; when an individual experiences heightened reactions to touch sensations, leading to discomfort and hypersensitivity.
