Seeking Calm in Chaos? Discover These Autism-Friendly Havens in Malaysia

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CktGJ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CktGJ.jpg"/>

 In Malaysia, numerous public areas cater specifically to those with disabilities, notably individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A significant number of shopping centres have persistently supported this group by designating particular zones for them or integrating inclusiveness into their policies and decisions.


 Below are some locations that better serve the ASD community:


 
 1. SUNWAY PUTRA MALL
 


 The shopping centre designates every Tuesday as an Autism-Friendly Day, transforming itself into a more welcoming space for individuals with autism. As part of their Autsome Tuesdays initiative, they have made consistent efforts to support those on the spectrum by reducing light brightness, decreasing sound volumes, and offering preferential parking spots from 10 AM to 5 PM at Basement 1 close to elevators and moving staircases.


 You can enjoy a stress-free and fulfilling shopping session every Tuesday without overwhelming your senses.


 
 
 2. 1 UTAMA SENSORY PODOffsetTable
 
 
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CkhKM" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CkhKM.jpg"/>
 
 


 Their sensory-friendly pod is perfect for people who find their sensory sensitivities aggravated after a whole day of shopping, offering a space to take a break from the busyness of the mall. This makes it not only suitable for autistic individuals but also for anyone feeling overstimulated.


 Specifically aimed at individuals across all age groups who have autism spectrum disorders, these spaces offer relaxation through various sensory tools and toys meant for "engagement, entertainment, and self-regulation," as stated on 1 Utama’s website. In an adjacent area known as the Owl Quiet Zone, guests can find respite by napping in serene owl-themed tents equipped with plush bean bags for ultimate calmness.


 
 3. SUNWAY VELOCITY

 In this mall, you'll discover Calm Pods and sensory walls, which were added as part of an effort to increase understanding about the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Under the Autsome (Autism is Awesome) programme, they've installed a sensory wall featuring artwork reminiscent of Van Gogh’s style near Lifts 5 & 6 on Level G, along with Calm Pods located on both Level G and Level B2 for individuals looking to unwind during their shopping trip.


 These areas assist in calming sensory overloads and overwhelming sensations. Additionally, the artwork used is entirely eco-friendly, merging the effort of aiding the ASD community with environmental support. Many Sunway Malls have similarly undertaken initiatives to create a more autism-accessible shopping experience.


 You can discover a rooftop garden at Sunway Velocity as well, which makes it an excellent spot for people looking for more than just respite from noise and throngs of folks; they can enjoy some greenery and visually calming surroundings too.


 
 
 4. GOLDEN SCREEN CINEMAS (GSC) OFFERS SENSORY-FRIENDLY SHOWINGS AT Paradigm Mall, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, And IOI City Mall

 In many shopping centres equipped with GSC cinemas, these screening areas accommodate individuals with autism by reducing sensory stimuli. They maintain audio at reduced volumes, keep the theatre lights slightly dimmed rather than fully darkened, and permit patrons to freely roam about without constraints.


 Moreover, having fewer guests leads to a more relaxed atmosphere. This allows people with autism to watch movies at the theater just as others do, without worrying about feeling overwhelmed and leaving before the movie finishes.


 
 5. JOYFUL FARM HIPPO-THERAPY MALAYSIA

 Hippotherapy, where horseback riding acts as therapeutic aid, assists in offering sensory relief to those facing sensory overload. This approach is used as part of rehabilitation for individuals suffering from cerebral palsy. Meanwhile, members of the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) community can alleviate sensations like exhaustion, agitation, being overburdened, anxiety, panic attacks, or mental haziness through recreational horseback riding sessions.


 Embracing the slogan “horses that heal,” participants receive between 30 to 45 minutes for equine sessions. Besides horse riding, the center provides visual perceptual therapy, which aids children who have autism and special requirements.
