Walmart is making a big change to accommodate customers with autism, PTSD, and other sensory disorders. Starting tomorrow, stores nationwide will have special “sensory-friendly” hours from 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. each day.

The TVs will show a static image instead of videos. They’ll also leave the music off and lower the lights. They tested it for back-to-school season and had success. Quote, “We hope our customers and associates will find the stores to be a little easier on the eyes and ears.”
