The Rand family of Victorville, CA, has begun hosting “Autism Eats” events at local restaurants for families with children who are autistic or who have special needs. The objective of these social events is to bring families of autistic children together in an informal atmosphere to have conversations with like-minded people. The Rands themselves have an autistic child.

The Rands said many times their family has visited an eatery where Peyton has acted out because the pizza has “off colors” or the noise was too loud. Their son has also been known to scream, attack his parents or inflict injury on himself.

The events allow families to enjoy a meal in a nonjudgmental environment where everyone understands the challenges presented while raising an autistic child. Families provide each other support and encouragement, and openly share experiences—which can be especially beneficial to those with newly-diagnosed autistic children. The camaraderie helps build mutually beneficial relationships.
