At FOCUS Center for Autism we have at least three family and Autism friendly events a year. We have two gatherings that include food, music, games, dancing and lots of laughter. The FOCUS Festival is heading into its 13th year in Canton on June 7th. Last night we attended Autism Awareness Night at the XL Center in Hartford and took in a Wolfpack game.
Because I'm involved in this community, I often see postings for Autism friendly movies. There's even Autism friendly surfing.
Now...there's Autism friendly cruises. Royal Caribbean announced in an article in USA Today that they are now certified and "Autism Friendly"
The new designation, awarded by the travel organization Autism on the Seas, indicates the line will take specific measures to help its guests with autistic family members enjoy their cruise. Royal Caribbean line now has Bronze Level certification, which means it will provide sensory-related toys, autism-friendly modification to youth activities (where appropriate), autism-friendly movies, priority boarding and dietary offerings (including gluten-free and dairy-free).
You can find out more by linking to the article or by going directly to Autism on the Seas.
