Notable Quotes:

• "As a person on the autism spectrum, and a museum professional, I can speak from personal experience about what has been helpful and also detracted from my experience in museums. Three immediate things come to mind: labels that suit folks with special interests, lighting/sound for sensory differences, and Plan Your Trip features on the website."

• "The most important thing any organization can do is to listen to and support visitors as individuals. Autism is a wide spectrum and the needs vary greatly from person to person. Be knowledgeable and always kind. And when you don’t know what someone needs, just ask."
