In order to better accommodate people with sensory issues, such as those with autism spectrum disorder, the fair launched sensory-friendly mornings in 2018. On Wednesdays from 10 a.m to 1 p.m., the fair has implemented programming to make it easier for visitors with sensory issues to avoid getting overstimulated.

“We’ve already curated an experience, but the fair is yours to wander and explore, so there are so many different things folks can do on these mornings,” Austin said. Wednesdays also coincide with one of the fair’s regular discount days, when visitors can donate five canned food items to the North Texas Food Bank for $5 admission.

Yeah and forcing people with these issues to wear masks. Seriously.
