Autism Community Alliance

On this past Wednesday, ACA visited the Air and Space Museum in DC. We had 10:00 AM timed-entry passes but got there around 10:30 AM , since they won’t let you in early — that actually helped us avoid long lines and school groups. The 11:00 AM planetarium show had lots of open seats and felt worth it: nearly 360° screen for about 25 minutes. Tip: bring an empty water bottle; small snacks were fine to bring inside. The museum café was crowded, pricey, and had limited options, so we headed to Springfield to eat. We ended the day with a calm walk around Hidden Pond Park. Any sensory-friendly outing suggestions?
