'Sensory Friendly Films' For Kids With Autism
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 "Sensory Friendly Films."
As part of the program 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.
Audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing, as AMC's "Silence is Golden®" policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned. Tickets are four to six dollars, depending on the location, and can be purchased on the day of the event.
The next sensory-friendly showing is Gnomeo and Juliet and will be held Saturday, Feb. 12th at 10am. For locations of participating theaters, log onto www.autism-society.org.

I thought this was such a great story. It made me think of some friends that I know who have autistic children. I felt the need to share this with my other friends and family on Facebook so I will be posting the autism society web site on my page so that others can share the info.
