DRASTIC: Digital Repository of Autistic Sensory Truths, Insights and other Contributions
Karen Timm
Overview
The Digital Repository of Autistic Sensory Truths, Insights and other Contributions (DRASTIC) is a web-based learning tool for use by educators and other professionals who are seeking to be allies to the Autistic Community (colleagues, students, clients, family and community members). With a focus on understanding and removing workplace barriers related to Sensory Processing Differences, DRASTIC has been developed to align with the principles outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), in the spirit of Nothing About Us Without Us (United Nations, 2006). As such, a key feature of this resource is the compilation of a ‘living’ repository of authentic experiences shared by members of the Autistic (and otherwise Neurodivergent) Community who tell their sensory truths, in their own ways.
