Common Scents: Adventures with Autism and Chemical Sensitivity is the story of a young woman's search for physical and emotional safety as she journeys through the mountains of the Cascades, small coastal towns on the Oregon coast, and out-of the-way towns in upstate New York. Along the way, she experiences things she would never have dreamed possible had she stayed in her Maine hometown, and begins to learn the power of human connection.
This book is for anyone who likes a good adventure story; anyone who wants to learn more about autism, Asperger's, and chemical sensitivities; and anyone interested in reading about the power and potential of human growth.
