@aSmartRS Absolutely agree with you. I had to turn it off. Autistic children use these behaviours as coping mechanisms being in a stressfull situation they cannot get out of - I.e a school classroom. More compassion and understanding required I think!!

@KateProudman That went down well in our house too! Ha ha

Autism friendly housing requires careful design to meet the sensory processing differences of the residents. We were delighted to be part of the team to deliver this house. Check out this case study

I have been talking to architects about designing inclusive environments for autistic people. It is difficult to explain the impact of bad acoustics, lighting etc on altered sensory perception - better to read a first hand account!
This book says it all. Fantastic @TheFernBrady

In a constant search to find new ways to reduce costs and construction times, modular #architecture emerges as an opportunity.

Well done to@5plusarchitects at Guildford Design Awards

Just had a call from the Energy Saving Centre, they claim to be Government backed? They couldn’t give me any more details about the company when I asked if I could check them out.
Anyone had this experience?
