Any Experiences With Children / Family On The Autistic Spectrum Struggling With Public Bathrooms?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi there all, we're looking to highlight the experiences of people on the autistic spectrum struggling with public bathrooms. i.e. the sensory overload from air dryers and automatic flushes.
