trekster Report post Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks for posting this but unfortunately it wouldn't suit people like me. i went to see toy story and the only time i could hear the film was when there was music on. The other autistics were unable to quietly be themselves in the cinema. Hope you have fun with all your noisy autistic folk! Alexis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maria-Alex Report post Posted October 12, 2009 We also took our son to watch Madagascar2 at an autistic viewing, it was a very strange experience for us all, it was the first time Alex had been to the cinema and it was full of other autistic kids which was great meeting them and there parents/carers, it had 3 breaks aswell which was needed by most of the viewers, but alot of the kids ended up playing around through the film, some people got annoyed by all the noise, but overall it was a good experience for my son. It hasn't deterred us from going again though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
