Autistic child and concert advice

2 replies

Hi All
My friend has tickets to see Ed Sheeran in a stadium this summer. My ten year old adores Ed Sheeran. He is on the spectrum but generally deals with life and people very well. My elder daughter who is also autistic, loves concerts, but didn’t go to one at ten. It is seated. Thoughts? Has anyone taking their young autistic child to a gig. I’ve also never seen ES live so not sure.
Thanks!

You know your son best; I’d take my autistic child to an ed Sheeran concert at this age with lots of preparing and ear defenders. For us the most stressful part would be the crowds when leaving so I’d probably be prepared to wait a bit and have an easy journey home planned.

Thanks so much @Apksbdv ! Good call on the travel and ear defenders.
