“Making Sense of Sensory Differences” – a one day conference linking the sensory experiences of children and adults with autism with the science behind sensory differences.

The day will include talks on hyper-sensitivity (to sound, light, smell, etc); bodily sensitivity (anxiety and heartbeat); autism and synaesthesia (a ‘merging of the senses’).

Those attending will hear from:

Leading researcher from the Universities of Glasgow, Nottingham, Sussex

Prof David Baguley, Prof Sarah Garfinkel, Dr James Hughes,
Dr David Simmons, Prof Julia Simner and Prof Jamie Ward

As well as from people with autism or synaesthesia sharing their experiences and what helps them
