Royal exchange theatre is not only an accessible place to visit but it is an accessible place to volunteer/work. They have a visual guide which you can access on there website so as an autistic you know what to expect before you arrive. I recommend watching a relaxed performance if you are autistic as they give you a booklet to read through before so you know what to expect during the play (there are spoilers in the booklet but as an autistic it doesn’t bother me and I prefer to know what to expect) I also decided to do some volunteering at royal exchange theatre during covid. I did most of it on zoom but was worried about doing it in person as they were strict with masks even though I lip read due to being hard of hearing but I let all the other workers know about my worries and every single person bought themselves a lip reading Friendly mask for me. It brought a tear to my eye. I felt very welcome at the Royal exchange theatre with all my disabilities
