Amanda Camurati points out something exciting about the proposed "quiet section" that the New York Mets might create for autistic people and others who would prefer a somewhat less noisy experience.  While the trend toward "sensory friendly" special events is wonderful, this model would help include autistic people at all games:

While many organizations have set aside specific dates and events for families, the Mets could be the first to institute a permanent section available for all games and events. That would make them a national model -- not just for sports franchises, but for other entertainment venues as well.

All children should go to a baseball game. All children should be able to see a movie. One section at one stadium won’t change the world, but it could be the spark that starts the fire.
