It seemed really surreal to me so I asked about it, apparently they have hours for people on the spectrum to make it more comfortable for them. As far as I know, I’m not on the spectrum but this environment was soooooo calming. It was like being at a spa. Is this not something everyone enjoys or should I consider getting checked out for autism??

    Hello, I work in retail in Australia. The shopping malls I’m at all have “quiet time” for “people with sensory issues” every Tuesday morning from 9 to 11:30 am. It is as you described, and I agree with you.

    Now I’m not sure where I stand on the spectrum but I’ve heard colleagues say they also prefer the quiet time, so, there you go. I just don’t understand the point of bombarding people with music all the time especially for Christmas.
