In 2021 we conducted research to understand how sensory processing differences affects autistic people's experiences of public spaces. Supermarkets were found to be one of the most disabling sensory environments, identifying a range of factors that may make them challenging spaces for autistic people.

On the 19-20th of August, we brought our Sensory Supermarket to PEARL in Dagenham in partnership with Sensory Spectacle. This event aimed to showcase our findings and explore how supermarkets can be disabling sensory environments for autistic people.
