Closed 76 signatures

What the petition asks

Children on the autistic spectrum struggle in crowded environments. They are more likely to visit a and e than others due to behaviours injuries etc so why is a and e such a difficult place for them ? A few lights a quiet area to let them feel safe
I'm the parent of a four year old with asd and sensory processing problems a recent trip to a and e turned into absolute hell for him with the lights the noise the doors a side waiting room with a few sensory lights wouldn't actually be that costly children's hospitals especially need this addressing for good patient experience
