AURORA, Colo — Between the loud noises of fireworks and big crowds of a 4th of July celebration, it can be a challenging time to people with autism or someone who is neurovidergent that makes them sensitive to that sort of stimuli.
"There are certain holidays that I think, very much, create a desire in people to be able to participate in them like any other family or any other individual would," said Sullivan,"It creates kind of a point of pain, because you want to be able to go to a fireworks display, or go to have your picture taken with Santa, but it can be really challenging because you don't know what the sensory environment is going to be like.
It has everything people might expect from any other 4th of July celebration: A barbecue, music and a near perfect view of Aurora's fireworks display. The store offers noise-canceling headphones, a small 'Sensory Cave' and a mobile sensory bus for people to take a break with some peace and quiet.
