It's not an uncommon trigger in some, I used to take my Grandson out of an auditorium before the final applause it was definitely one of his triggers as an autist.

Mamya I didn't mean that I thought it was a bad idea or that it shouldn't happen. The "shrug" was a preemptive comment before the "what is the world coming to"-ists arrived.

My nephew is autistic and also finds clapping intrusively loud. On occasions he has worn ear defenders in some places, and then people just think he is ignorant and listening to music...

I'm not saying they should or shouldn't do it, I knew what you meant Woof.

Perlease. Now if they banned it on strictly it would be great!

I don't think it should be banned either... I was just giving an example that didn't involve "snowflakes".

I can understand that loud clapping can startle some people, especially those with autism, but you can’t ban it everywhere. They’re going to experience it in the real world.

I’m sorry, but I think it’s ridiculous.

Not very fair on deaf people.
Only I believe the story isn't true.

I wonder how they would have gone on during WW2 with the bangs and clatter of bombs and guns?

I'm going to kick you out of my fan club if you disagree with me again.
The rest of the club will cheer and jazz hands.

Lordy......
We 'are' getting a little WW2-heavy in the responding comments today.

I'm not sure the facts are acurately reflected in the article.
