“THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS” explores the sensory perspective world view experienced by a 9-year-old boy named Josh. It delves into the richly layered tapestry of his daily life as his brain struggles to find peace and calm within the myriad of stimuli bombarding his senses. Josh is hyper-sensitive to sounds, textures, colours and light. He struggles to maintain eye contact and flaps his hand uncontrollably when he feels stressed or excited. Josh gets lost in the details because he gets over stimulated so easily and he relies on rituals and routines to bring order to the chaos and confusion that exist in his everyday experience.
