In order to provide a more comfortable setting for children and families affected by autism spectrum disorders and sensory issues, the movie theaters will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down, families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertisements will be shown before the movie. In addition, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing, as long as there are no safety issues.
Please check out the Autism Society's page on "Sensory Friendly Films" for more information, find the date of the next film, and to find a theater near you.
If you have been to one of these films, you can leave a comment on their site, or leave a comment here. I'd love to know what you thought!
