Waiting can be a challenge for people with autism, often due to the need for structure and difficulty with unpredictability. The concept of time and uncertainty about how long the wait will last can cause stress. Sensory stimuli in waiting areas, such as sounds or lighting, can also be overwhelming.
Providing clear information about the waiting time, creating a calm environment, and offering distractions or tools to bridge the waiting time contribute to a more comfortable waiting experience for people with autism.
