Glasgow Loves Christmas.
As mentioned in an earlier post, Glasgow's traditional George Square Christmas Market had an Autism-friendly day between 10am – 6pm yesterday (4th December) so we decided to take the Autie brood down for a wee gander.
So how did it (Christmas) fayre?
Well actually it was a really nice, relaxed hour out, the fact that you arrived there knowing that it was going to be Autistic aware/friendly actually helps alleviate your stress levels as you kinda guess that if anything happens there are folk there to help or at least be a wee bit sympathetic.
And the staff that we saw were friendly enough, especially on the big wheel who didn't rush anyone, kept the queues calm and were really amenable and polite.
Plus it was lovely to see parents just enjoying an afternoon out without having to justify/apologise/get mad to feel shite for their kids expressing themselves.
Which is more than can be said for the staring folk at Queens Street low level when the Cassman had a wee meltdown.
Glad you enjoyed the show.
The only criticism we found is that the signage (for the quiet space etc.) needs to be a wee bit bigger as it was pretty hard to spot as it was very busy but other than that kudos all round!
More please!
