The bright lights, loud music and long lines can often keep autistic kids from engaging in a holiday ritual many children enjoy: an annual visit with Santa.
So one mall opened early last Sunday morning for some low-key “sensitive Santa” time.
The Northtown Mall, in Blaine, Minnesota, dimmed the lights and lowered the music volume to make autistic children more comfortable, and forms filled out by parents in advance gave Sensitive Santa insight on the kids’ wish lists. This year, more than 50 kids of all ages attended the event.
