This Saturday, July 16, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Carmike 12 of Dalton will be showcasing the debut release of Ghost Busters for those desiring a sensory friendly movie going experience. Come out and meet the Atlanta Ghost Busters! A trip to the movie theater can be an overwhelming experience for one on the autism spectrum. Crowding as people queue up to buy tickets, loud movie volume, and dark theater lighting can all be sensory overload triggers that keep some autistic people from ever seeing movies at the cinema. http://www.nghp.org/portfoli/autism-sensory-friendly-movie/
