I was so excited to find this that I just had to share… AMC Entertainment is partnering with The Autism Society to bring Sensory Friendly Films to select communities on a monthly basis. According to their website, “the program provides a special opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the program have their lights up, the sound turned down and audience members are invited to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing!”
The tentative upcoming Sensory Friendly Films are:
(Updated Movie Schedule 9/23/11)
October 1 – Dolphin Tale
November 5 – Puss in Boots
Â
*The site says that all shows are scheduled for 10am on these days but that dates and movies are tentative so be sure to call ahead.

That is great news!
I think the AMC link has changed:
