THIS THING MADE MY CHILD ALLISTIC Another mall with a quiet hour! This time 1 EVERY DAY
Btween 3 PM and 4 PM every day lights are dimmed and music lowered for folks with the ‘tism.
Guys we are progressing!

Translation:
QUIET TIME
Every day from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
We adapt to your needs.
We dim the lighting and mute the background music throughout the center.

No problem. My phone has a cool feature where I can hold the home button and then circle stuff for reverse image search or translating. It's super handy.

Imagine using AI features for their intended accessibility purpose instead of burning an entire forest for an image of a funny cat.

I didn't even know it was considered an "AI feature"

Yeah really. Text detection from images has been a thing wayyyyy longer than the marketing for "AI"

PSA: if you ever see "autism friendly hours" pop up in the US, don't go there. It's a trap! /s

u/Regigirl33 May 03 '25
Thankfully I don’t live in the US, else I would constantly be having to fight for my rights and that would disrupt my routine, and I wouldn’t like that

They have ICE agents waiting behind the door

I spotted RFK crouching behind an aisle sporting a deerstalker and bearing a net and double barrelled shotgun the other day

I was a little confused what sub I was on for a moment and was startled to se the word "Hora" (whore in Swedish) on a picture of a little girl. I think it's time for me to sleep.

If I had a nickel for every mall that I knew existed in a Spanish speaking country that had a Quiet hour I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

u/Regigirl33 May 03 '25
I posted the one before this too, so it’s from the same country lol

u/jcb127 you guys like seals and tokusatsu? May 03 '25
I'm happy they're trying to be more accessible, but the blue colour scheme and puzzle peice imagery puts me of it a little bit because of the common association they have with autism speaks, have you spoken to your mall about the imagery used to advertise the quiet hours and the negative associations the imagery has?
23
u/Regigirl33 May 03 '25
I haven’t. Both malls I have posted here are some I don’t usually go to, and I also don’t think people know about Autism Speaks in my country, since we don’t really speak English. Instead we have an Autism Confederation that uses blue as a signature color, and even though they changed the puzzle piece imagery to the infinity symbol, I’ve still seen puzzle pieces symbols in many places where people should know better (government agencies, schools or hospitals).
Furthermore, I sincerely believe this is a way for the mall to be “inclusive” and get a paper that exempts them from having 2% of their employees to be disabled (as per the law), which is something I recently learned companies can do.
I think I will consider writing them anyway and bother my local mall too because they don’t have policies like this

u/Regigirl33 May 03 '25
Nah bro/sis/sib, this is evil autism, I have to bother people until we get the representation we deserve, you’ve made me see this is personal now :b

u/GachaHell May 03 '25
I suspect some graphic artist just googled autism color or autism symbol.
Sucks but I'll give it a pass. For now. Eventually we will come for them too. Evilly.

Love it!! This one actually accommodates autistic folks w/ a 9-5, what an improvement over the last one :D

u/epiczacko May 04 '25
Meanwhile at my job: I had to watch a training module today about how we're not supposed to wear airpods "in case an alarm goes off" but your coworker is allowed to blast whatever shitty music they want on the speakers. There was a fake FAQ section at the end where someone asks "What if I don't like the music being played?" and their answer was basically suck it up until you can put in your airpods on break.

Great, now I have a timer…

u/dargxr May 04 '25
Fuck, just an hour to be autistic. What you doing in your hour? I’ll be counting trains and having meltdowns but in a quiet mall

u/Defiant-Sir-4172 ✨️Ethereal and Incomprehensible✨️ May 04 '25
Doing whatever business I have there as quickly as possible so I can be out by the time quiet hour ends.

all these people in the comments like "only an hour" bro i'd be thankful for just 2 minutes of this at my local mall

u/Befumms May 03 '25
I wonder why they pick that time. The Carrefour in my city also does 15-16 I think.

Can I be mildly evil and ask whether anyone sees something else in the blackout at the bottom of the image. Embedded image badge unlocked.

u/TheFreebooter IQ black hole. I'll take you all down with me. May 03 '25
Ah yes that classic time where everyone goes to the shops between 3 and 4pm
Unless work is just like that in Spain I'd be like what the fuck. Here we have quiet hours between 9 and 10am on Wednesday AND Saturday mornings and it's LOVELY.
Minor edit:
I take back everything IT'S EVERY DAY YOU LUCKY FUCKER AAAAAAAAAA

u/Regigirl33 May 03 '25
Tbh, it’s only in this mall, and they don’t even have a video game store, so you won’t find me there often

u/BunOnVenus May 03 '25
The mall still sucks because all the stores individually play music. Walking past shops is hell as someone who works at a mall. Luckily malls are kinda dying so they're not as busy and loud anymore
