Cost: $6.00

AMC Entertainment and the Autism Society of America have teamed up to bring families affected by autism a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting enviroment on a monthly basis.

With Sensory Friendly Films, the movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down.

The "Silence is Golden" rule will not be enforced. People can talk, stim, jump, sing, do anything that they need to. It is designed to be a friendly supportive atmosphere.

The movie will be shown in Neshaminy's largest theater. If you check for tickets online you will see that the movie is listed as sold out. AMC does this to prevent people from purchasing the tickets for what they think is a regular showing with previews etc.... You prepurchase tickets at the Neshaminy box office but not online. However, there should be plenty of room.

There will be no previews or ads. Arrive on time. The movie will start at 10.

There will be a quiet theater available that has no movie running. If someone would like a break they can go to that nearby theater to unwind.

You can bring in your own food.

Enjoy the movie!
