Our Approach

Our autism friendly reviews are not about rating enjoyment, luxury, or whether a visit was “fun.” Instead, they assess whether an environment is genuinely accessible and supportive for autistic people and families. Each review is grounded in a consistent set of criteria, including visible signs of welcome and safety, clear pre-planning information, disability or companion pricing, alternatives to waiting, intuitive and signposted wayfinding, clearly explained and well-signed processes, sensory accommodations, access to quiet or sensory spaces, and staff attitudes toward disability and difference. The aim is to provide practical, predictable information that supports informed decision-making, so autistic travellers can better understand what to expect and decide what will work for their individual needs.

Disclaimer: Autism is experienced differently by each individual, and access needs can vary widely. These reviews reflect observed features and available supports rather than a guarantee of suitability for every person. What works well for one autistic person or family may not work for another, so we encourage readers to use this information as a planning tool alongside their own knowledge of individual needs and preferences.
