Sensory Friendly Movies

AMC in partnership with the Autism Society of America is screening Home this Saturday.

These are a great option for any kid with sensory issues or who has trouble sitting still for a movie.

This is so great.

I have always found it interesting that Charlotte has no trouble in the movie theater, other than asking a few too many questions some days. It's like the screen is a visual stim for her. And she doesn't like sudden loud noises but doesn't mind the radio being loud in the car (for example). Sometimes she asks me to turn it up.

Thanks for sharing - no idea this existed.  And there are so many participating theaters in NY!  Hooray!!!

I don't know that the boys would last a whole movie but we might give it a try. 

And to anyone thinking of watching movies at home - here's one to stay away from: THE LEGO MOVIE.

Sent Lucas into a screaming fit during one of the chase scenes.  WAAAAY too much going on at once.

We also. Have them here at studio movie grill and they are free for the kids and sibs. Last time we went there was only 1 family in there. It was DS first movie and he loved it! Actually say for a while and we were able to let him walk around when he was bored. Ps it was still loud but not as much as usual. DS was scared at first but relaxed quickly.

Our local AMC theater has participated in this for a couple of years now and it is not listed on that list. Our theater also allows families to bring in their own food.
