Check Out "Sensory Friendly Films" for Kids with Autism or Sensory Issues
AMC Theatres and the Autism Society have teamed up to bring families affected by autism 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 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 concerns.
Please check out the AMC'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 below. I'd love to know what you thought!

This is so wonderful. I'm a parent of two boys with Autism and I say your post on Twitter. Just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this blog post. I tried to take my older son when he was around three and it was too much. So glad that AMC has decided to do this. So glad I stayed up late and saw your post. :)
Char, Thanks for your comment. I'm so glad this is helpful for you! I hope you'll be able to take advantage of these movies, and your sons will enjoy them.
