#46: Make kids with autism welcome

It’s common for kids with autism to struggle with being in an unfamiliar place. Kids on the spectrum may also have trouble understanding and conforming to the norms of library behavior. This can mean they disturb other patrons and their caregivers feel reluctant to bring them to the library for fear they aren’t welcome. Many libraries have found that this problem can be mitigated by doing special introductions to the library at a time kids can be themselves without disturbing other library users. Can you open your library an hour early, or close it an hour late, to host a one-time library intro visit just for autistic kids and their families?
