Thank you 

I was able to have the wonderful experience of shopping during the "quiet hour", in Halifax Nova Scotia.

This is an amazing partnership between Autism Nova Scotia and Sobeys.   Since my stroke over a year ago, shopping has been one of my biggest hurdles.  Be it a combination of the number of people, the confining spaces, the ambient noise, the lighting.  For those of us with neurological or psychological difficulties, where sensory sensitivity can be an issue.  Shopping can be demoralizing, belittling and disabling.

This was the first time, in over a year that I felt normal while shopping.  It was truly a liberating experience.

I encourage all of my viewers and subscribers to contact their local retail outlets and have them develop a sensory sensitivity policy.
