“Yay for Sensational Stims! I really wish this book had been around when I was a kid. It’s important for autistic and neurotypical people to know about the experiences that autistic people can have. Basing our emotions and experiences on one model will have us not trusting our own judgment and invalidating the experiences of others.”

—Tee Monet,

“Garcia engages the reader in an important conversation about autism using this short story. It is informative and fun! In today’s fast-moving world, it’s critical to slow down, take time to be informed, and apply the information we learn to help children thrive. Hands down one of the best children’s books I’ve read this year!.”

Big Impacts:

“Rarely have I read a book (or blog) that has impacted me as much as The Case of Sensational Stims.  The tone of the book is loving, supportive and honest. Additionally, important information is shared in a matter-of-fact way.

The Case of Sensational Stims presents a positive, personable and proactive approach for those of us whose lives have intersected with those on the autism spectrum. Rather than seeing neurodiversity as a problem, we are encouraged to accept it for all that it can offer.

Erin Garcia personalizes a very real human experience that, for the most part, has been relegated primarily to clinical discussion. The Case of Sensational Stims invites all of us to become more knowledgeable, more accepting, and especially more willing to embrace this gift.”
