During the quiet hour, the shop keepers will stop the escalators and turn-off the in-store music and display TVs to make the shop perfect for people with autism.
Autistic people are sometimes troubled by loud noises and it makes it difficult for them to buy. Also, the shop owners will provide the store map with pictures instead of words to help them navigate easily.
The store manager came up with this idea after an incident that took place in his shop a fortnight ago. An autistic boy had a meltdown and he was kicking and screaming due to the loud noises in the shop. The boy’s plight made him start this ‘quiet hour’ at the shop.
