There’s a new online directory that’s like a treasure map for autistic individuals and their families.
It lists over 100 businesses that understand their unique needs and have created sensory-friendly spaces.
Think about it: hair salons with dimmed lights and calming music, grocery stores with designated quiet hours, and restaurants with menus designed to accommodate different sensory preferences.
This directory is a huge step towards creating a more inclusive world, one where everyone feels welcome and understood. It’s a reminder that small changes can make a big difference in someone’s life.
Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and Lauren Jeffery points out, “We shouldn’t have to work any harder than anyone else to find services that meet our needs.” This directory is a testament to that belief, and it’s just the beginning.
We’re moving towards a future where everyone can find their “happy place,” regardless of their differences.
So, if you or someone you know is on the autism spectrum, check out this directory! And if you’re a business owner, consider making your space more inclusive. Together, we can build a world where everyone feels like they belong.
