The Sensory City
Autism, Design and Care
Joyce Davidson and Victoria L. Henderson apply a geographical perspective to address current challenges in inclusive urban design by drawing on a corpus of autobiographical texts by writers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Highlighting the distinctive spatial experiences of ASD individuals, Davidson and Henderson draw attention to features in the urban environment, such as fluorescent lighting and poorly sound‐proofed buildings, which often pass unnoticed among ‘neurotypical’ people but may cause distressing experiences of sensory overload among ADS people. Davidson and Henderson demonstrate how a detailed understanding of the affective and sensory aspects of people's engagements with the city could be incorporated into design practices to improve access not only for ASD people but a wider urban population. Attending to bodily specificity, the authors argue, is paramount to the design of caring built environments that allow for ‘neuro‐affective diversity’.
