i thought loud noises and lots of lighting changes and what not are bad for autistic kids?
It's not "bad" for them, some kids are sensitive to lights, sounds and some stim off them. Some can't tolerate crowds
My son is 8, autistic and had a ball a U2 concert with 80,000 screaming people, flashing lights and giant screens. Some kids would have been curled up in a ball with their eyes closed, hands over ears and screaming for mercy.
there's a saying: "If you 've met one child with autism, you've met one child with autism." They are all SO different.
