What is box of small things?

A ND-friendly place to check sensory aspects of everyday products based on real testing.

Who is this site for?

Autistic adults, ADHD/AuDHD adults, and anyone with sensory sensitivity around:

• perfumes
• textures
• noise
• light
• sticky/foamy products
• unpredictable sensations

How do you test products?

I buy and test everything myself. No sponsored reviews.

Are you a dermatologist / scientist?

No. I write from lived ND/sensory experience, supported by careful observation and real‑world testing.

Do you accept gifts or sponsored posts?

No.
If that ever changes, it will be clearly disclosed.

Are the affiliate links safe?

Yes. If you buy through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
This keeps the site free.

Can you recommend something for my specific sensory needs?

Sometimes!
You can contact me if you want to share:

• what triggers you
• what textures/smells/sounds you avoid
• what you’re hoping to find

I may be able to point you to a review.

Why bother with sensory aspects?

Most mainstream reviews ignore these, but they can completely change how usable a product really is, especially for those of us who are super sensors.
