Captain America: Civil War is Sensory Friendly Twice This Week
Last updated on May 14th, 2016 at 05:33 pm
AMC Entertainment (AMC) and the Autism Society have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other special needs “Sensory Friendly Films” every month – a wonderful opportunity to enjoy fun new films in a safe and accepting environment.
The movie auditoriums will have their lights turned up and the sound turned down. Families will be able to bring in snacks to match their child’s dietary needs (i.e. gluten-free, casein-free, etc.), there are no advertisements or previews before the movie and it’s totally acceptable to get up and dance, walk, shout, talk to each other…and even sing – in other words, AMC’s “Silence is Golden®” policy will not be enforced during movie screenings unless the safety of the audience is questioned.
Does it make a difference? Absolutely! Imagine …no need to shhhhh your child. No angry stares from other movie goers. Many parents think twice before bringing a child to a movie theater. Add to that your child’s special needs and it can easily become cause for parental panic. 
But on this one day a month, for this one screening, everyone is there to relax and have a good time, everyone expects to be surrounded by kids – with and without special needs – and the movie theater policy becomes “Tolerance is Golden“.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 10th at 7pm, and Saturday, May 14th at 10am (local time), families affected by autism or other special needs have the opportunity to view a sensory friendly screening of Captain America: Civil War. Tickets are $4 to $6 depending on the location. To find a theatre near you, here is a list of AMC theatres nationwide participating in this fabulous program (note: to access full list, please scroll to the bottom of the page).
Coming later in May: Neighbors 2:Sorority Rising (Tues, 5/24) and Alice Through the Looking Glass (Sat, 5/28)

Editor’s note: Although Captain America: Civil War has been chosen by the AMC and the Autism Society as this month’s Sensory Friendly Film, we do want parents to know that it is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for extended sequences of violence, action and mayhem. As always, please check the IMDB Parents Guide for a more detailed description of this film to determine if it is right for you and your child.
