What is "Autism Friendly"?

stranger

NAS have advertised a few shows on Facebook and Twitter and claim they're Autism Friendly. When I've asked what this means, I've never got an answer. How can something be Autism Friendly if the needs of each Autistic person is different? I do want to go to one of these shows; but won't be able to cope if people are free to just get up, walk around and make noise. That is not Autism Friendly. That is inaccessible.

Parents

  • Indeed.

    I was at the cinema on Wednesday and there were 2 kids whose parents basically let them move around and make noise. Very off putting.

    I do sometimes need to get up and walk around (else I become stiff and very sore) but do so quietly.

    Leaving the lights on is awful. The cinema I go to has some spot lights (I think that's what they're called) which are dim. That's fine. But nothing too bright.
