YNot with Autistic attendee

[J3mmo]

Hi

Has anyone attended Ynot before with an autistic attendee? Just wondering if there was much space for escaping of necessary? And any other tips and lessons

Stand/sit further back for the main stage. Last year felt pretty penned in down the front as there were no side exits. Might sound weird, but ear plugs may also help. I've used them a lot as a photographer, and you still have a pretty good feel for the music. They will also help with getting some sleep! Apart from front of stage, there's a lot of space at YNot. Don't try to cram too much in, there's inevitably loads of good stuff, including the smaller stages. Plan your schedule in advance via the app, but take screenshots or a printed copy, as network coverage on site is pretty non-existant. Also screenshot the site map. I think there's a quieter camping field too.  Most of all, go at your own pace, and try to relax. Good luck x

Another thought - the cinema tent might be a nice place to escape too

Thank you, if I can get it sorted we're hoping for a glamping option so will have a reasonable place to escape to there if nothing else

Might be worth emailing them asking if they have any designated chill out spaces / other provisions. I'd be surprised if there wasn't to be honest

Thanks for the replies. They advised they have no specific chill out/sensory/escape points, but that some places are quieter than others
