UK supermarket introduces autism-friendly "quiet hour"
A supermarket in the UK will turn off loud music and escalators for an hour every week to make shopping easier for autistic people and their families. Tom Purser, from the UK National Autistic Society, told Newshour's Razia Iqbal that the idea could make a real difference for people with autism, by reducing the stress factors involved in going for the weekly shop.
