Autism Toy Story 3 Screening
Watching a movie in a theater can be overwhelming for those with Autism.
The lack of lighting, the film flickering on the screen, and the sound can just be too much.
Sensory friendly films have allowed for families with Autism to go to the movies together.
The following video is about a group who watched Toy Story 3, in a sensory friendly environment:
Have you ever been to a sensory friendly film? Would you want to?

this is a great idea, i’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often. also, did anyone else find it strange that the newscaster uses the phrase “suffering from autism”? i know it’s considered a disability, but people lead full lives with autism…maybe i read into things too much :/
Wow. I luv DSM!!! That’s really cool that the cinema would allow them to do that. ^o^
Unless I’m very much mistaken, that’s at the Jordan Creek Shopping Center in WDSM. Luv that mall. =]
That is a very smart & sensible idea for kids with Autism.
@RedZeppelin6@xanga – Some people with Autism are extremely sensitive to sights and sounds, so going to a theater with all the lights and sounds could be too much.
Well the vid is not playing, but I’m a little lost on why they can’t go to a normal theater? I don’t know everything about Autism.
This was nice to see I never thought of things like that then again I/we don’t know much about Autism. I rec’d this to help others in return of helping us 🙂 thanks again!~
@Kristenmomof3@xanga – ok, thanks.
@edlives@xanga – at the moment….USA
@Kristenmomof3@xanga – apologies. Thanks for letting me know. What country are you in?
I’d want to go just to watch the autistic kids.
the video isn’t working for me 🙁
This is a really good idea.
i’ve never been to one, but that’s pretty awesome!
