Summary:
"It's time for a new generation of autistic adventurers! Outdoor adventuring can be life changing -- it makes you physically and mentally stronger, takes you to new places and introduces you to new friends, but it can be stressful when there are unexpected social and sensory challenges involved. Allie Mason, autistic adventurer extraordinaire is here to help. Join Allie as she introduces activities ranging from archery to stargazing, sailing to fossil hunting, snorkeling to nature writing -- and so much more. Each easily digestible factsheet comes with a short introduction, a summary of the sensory experiences involved and suggestions on approaching activities for when you're just getting started, as well as a handy budgeting system." -- Page 4 of cover.
