    having a neurodiverse kid who doesn’t like crowded spaces

    I wish I could live somewhere where art galleries are crowded…

      Or maybe what you think of as crowded and an autistic person thinks of as crowded aren’t necessarily the same?

        When I go to museums and galleries, it’s entirely typical for me to see like 2-3 people in the same area as myself. In one gallery that I used to frequent I was usually the only person inside at all.

        2-3 people is certainly very far from a crowd.

          And your experience of 2-3 people in a gallery is far from typical. Either way, you’re deliberately missing the point…
