SuperValu In Clonakilty Are Doing Something Great For Their Customers With Autism

This is such a great idea.

For many people on the autistic spectrum, shopping can be a distressing experience.

Many individuals report feelings of sensory overload, and become overwhelmed at all of the noises and sounds that are present in supermarkets and shopping centres.

The abundance of stimuli can cause people, especially children to stress out.

The lovely people at Scally’s Supervalu in Clonakilty have decided to make it easier for their autistic customers by having a specially designated Autism-friendly shopping evening from 7-9pm on Tuesdays.

This considerate gesture is sure to help many people have a much better and less distressing shopping experience.
