This book deals with the implications of sensory difficulties. As the parents of children with 'autism-related problems' they have composed a book in which they relate the battles they faced as their son, Christian, struggled with extreme sensitivity to temperature, noise, taste and texture. Many of their experiences will be familiar to those who care for, or have, sensory integration problems. The book has an appealing and attractive cover, with simple black and white drawings throughout Christian's story. -- Good Autism Practice
