The words "building spaces for autistic people" over a castle background. There are bookshelves in the corners and candles on the floor and a window in the middle. In the top right there is an autistic pride flag of 5 different colors.

This is only really tangentially related, but I thought it'd be interesting to share.

One airport I visited had sensory rooms. Inside, they had some airplane seats in a section designed to look like a plane interior, chairs of different textures, background white noise intended to sound like the inside of a plane, and a projector showing different moving patterns on the wall. There were some other things too.

My travel companion (who has autism) loved the room. The best part is that everyone else avoided the room (I guess they were embarassed to go into a sensory room?) so it was completely empty. Without it, the flight would have been a lot more difficult.

This explain so much, why big online groups don't work for us, for example.

Thanks for making it!
