Autism, Theaters, and Chronicles of Narnia

I'm super impressed that some of the theaters (AMC) are having special showings of movies for children with Autism. This is absolutely amazing. Finally there is a place where it's okay that you may not pay attention to the entire movie or feel out of place because of it. It's safe! Check it out if you have any autistic kids and pass it on to those who do as well:

AMC Theatres (AMC) and the Autism Society have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis with the "Sensory Friendly Films" program.

In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for this unique audience, the movie auditoriums 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. Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC’s “Silence is Golden^®” policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned.

Tickets are $4-6 depending on location and can be purchased on the day of the event.
