Eating in restaurants- help!

Eve

I will be eating out a lot soon due to a holiday and I wonder if you have tips and tricks to make it as pleasant an experience as possible, autism-style? Stuck out tongue winking eye Let me know as well if you know of any autism friendly restaurants in London!

  • It might be worth considering whether or not you might find the venue too hot / too cold.

    The tactic of layered clothing can be your friend - to enable you to more easily adjust to the temperature of the restaurant environment - as you experience it on the day.

    I prefer to sit near a window if they are open at the venue.

    I don't enjoy sitting directly underneath an air conditioning vent.  In some restaurants there is no choice in the matter due to the layout of the room - in which case; I find a scarf / snood / neck gaiter can help to reduce my tickled-neck sensation under an air conditioning vent.
