sesley Report post Posted April 16, 2012 mine is getting used to going, now he is 12, he wanted to see the Pirates and the Scientist today, which ia from the Ardman people who made Wallace and Gromit,lucky us it was quiet and only 2 other adults and 4 children were in, he talks a bit,thats all,but he sits for the film wearing the glasses for 3 D. Ice Age 4 is coming in July if yours like the animated things as well. Its good for them to get cinema/theartre experiences and learn how to behave in a social setting when its possible. Our first successful cinema experience was with Wall E,then we have progressed to Ice age 3 and Up and Toy Story was the last cinema experience.

chris54 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 We go to a mobile cinema, it sets up at different village halls around the county once a month, It is open to anyone but specifically aimed at disabled children. It shows the latest releases. The idea being that no one is worried about any disturbance a child may make. And you are free to get up and have a walk about if you want. A few useful links. http://www.ceacard.co.uk/ http://www.autism.or...screenings.aspx http://www.dimension...rg/autismfilms/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynden Report post Posted April 17, 2012 We go to the Autism Friendly Showings. There are two cinemas around us that do them monthly (one only recently started). We've been going for a couple years now. They work really well for L and it's nice to be able to have a normal family day out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
