Autism Friendly Hotel For A Better Environment

By Cynthia Jackson


Mental care is very important to protect each and every one of us against societal discrimination. Some thought that is has already become a norm since the majority has been tolerating it. Tolerance does not mean it is already acceptable. That is why some institutions have supported an autism friendly hotel for societal awareness.

Parents have been taking care of these children and are responsible for giving lifelong affective and care. These individuals are given priority in our community because they do not act and behave as normal people do. They have the privilege to be given special attention especially when their tantrums occur.

The society should be alarmed with how our actions affect these special individuals. Sometimes, we are not even aware of our gestures and words that might affect them. Being sensitive to the emotions of other people is important. Special children are aware of their unusual nature and they tend to withdraw themselves from the public. They have intense feelings of strangeness and feel like they have been alienated in our society.

If our brain is unhealthy, our actions are always affected. These individuals are unaware of what is normal and they cannot help but to be different. Some said that it is their brains who made them do it, then they are absolutely right by their actions are also affected by how the society treats them. We also have a role as normal individuals to treat them properly for the betterment of their being.

These hotels are also offering care services for these individuals as a favor for their parents. It would not be easy to take care of these kids because they speak, think and act differently. That is why, these care givers are trained on how to interact with special individuals especially when tantrums occur.

As a result, there was a drastic increase in reservations and her initiative has awakened other hotel owners to do the same thing. This policy became well known in Las Vegas and California hotels wherein they prioritize families with special kids. They also provide day care services during the time when their parents are enjoying their services and commodities.

Their TV shows are mostly channeled to cartoons because studies have shown that autistic individuals have very creative and abstract imagination. By seeing cartoon shows, they feel belongingness and reduce their loneliness. Despite their unusual appearances and behavior, they must still show them genuine love and affection.

These firms are also employed with expert care givers who have basic cognizance about psychological interventions. They know how to pacify their tantrums and are informed about their body languages. These care givers are the guardians while their parents are away.

As citizens in our community, we must also do our own job to lessen to discrimination in our environment. Aside from protecting the welfare of these people, we should do it for every one as well. Mental health is very important and we must contribute to its awareness in order to protect these patients.
