Has anyone ever been to the cinema solo?

Yes, I've mostly been on my own. I prefer it, I can eat what I like and take whatever fidget toy I like with me. Lot's of people go alone. I suppose you could try the autism friendly days the cinema's have though to me they sound harder. I think the best thing to do is remember, you can just leave whenever you like. Also, if you can go on a weekday morning and it'll be quieter. 

The sound levels in most cinemas now are crazy... everything turned up to 11. Arthouse cinemas tend to be a little more sympathetic to the autistic esardrum.

Those deffo help! I've annoyingly misplaced mine recently and the serach continues... as well as the savings for new ones...

Try wearing flare calmer and arriving just as the film starts to avoid the adverts. Then by choosing the type of film you can really have better control over sound. It's a massive panic inducing issue for me too. Flare Calmer earplugs really help cos they just calm the noise and don't block it out.
