For years, Adam Wilson and his family tried to attend comic book conventions with their autistic son, Logan. They quickly realized that Logan was becoming easily overwhelmed by the noise, bright lights, and crowds at these events. After contacting multiple event organizers to inquire about sensory accommodations for guests, and being told that they didn’t exist, Adam started a nonprofit called Calm Passion and put a team together to provide sensory reduced areas, called Calmer Spaces, for free at conventions. Soon, the Calm Passion team decided to hold the first sensory-friendly comic convention, Calmer Con, in 2018 in Central Massachusetts. They have also managed Calmer Spaces for several events, including several Kid's Cons in New England, Granite State Comic Con in New Hampshire, and Rhode Island Comicon as well as supporting several nonprofit organizations each year. If you would like to speak to our team about how your event can provide great sensory accommodations, please Contact Us. We love what we do and want to help!
