AMC has created the "Sensory Friendly Films" for disability kids who cannot tolerate the regular viewing environment. The show starts right at 10:00 AM with no advertisements or previews, they only have the front speakers on at a medium volume (for kids who are noise sensitive), they have lights on during the movie, and the kids can move around freely (i.e., jump up and down, stim and make loud noises). For the parents, it's much less tense and you don't have to watch you kids to make sure they are not doing anything that will be a nuisance for people around you.
