They don't stop the movie. Children on the Autistic Spectrum process sensory information differently...

Posted by: hyperzeitgeist on Dec 03, 09:11 in response to RamsFan2004's post I see. But excuse me, aren't parents going to these shows...

The purpose of these shows is for the children to enjoy a movie without suffering sensory overload, which is why the sound is lower, and the opportunity for parents to not have to suffer the 'guilt trip' from other parents who don't understand that children on the spectrum can't always sit quietly for the duration.Ā 

I don't get it... Regal Presents My Way Matinee... "Sound turned down" "Lights turned up" "Feel free to cry, sing, shout, dance" ???? RazorHawk Dec 03, 07:35

I'm guessing this is basically for ADHD/autistic/asperger kids. {nm} shaunwins Dec 03, 07:46

If he's not correct, who do you suggest these screenings are designed for? {nm} ndmaster Dec 03, 08:19

I do not claim to know. Redag Dec 03, 08:53

You are way too sensitive to what he said. He is not blaming anyone for anything. ndmaster Dec 03, 08:58

I don't understand either... is the movie paused while this happens? Like an intermission? {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 03, 08:21

It's a test program. It's purposefully vague so they can tailor it if there is enough demand. {nm} notfabio Dec 03, 08:31

It's an offshoot of the Mommy and Me type screenings. These showtimes would generally have 10 people or less on a weekday. {nm} notfabio Dec 03, 08:34

I see. But excuse me, aren't parents going to these shows trying to distract their kids with the movie so they can relax?... RamsFan2004 Dec 03, 09:00

Ok. Thanks for clearing it up. {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 03, 10:22

He is correct though. It is sponsored by Puzzles International. That is an Autism awareness and advocacy group {nm} dioneta Dec 03, 08:29

I wonder if you replied to the wrong post? {nm} ndmaster Dec 03, 08:59

AMC has a similar sensory friendly program drakkar Dec 03, 09:03
