Austin’s public safety departments have teamed up for the city’s first Autism Sensory Fair, which will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 8, at 4101 S. Industrial Drive, Ste. 260, Austin, TX 78744. The Austin Police Department, Austin Fire Department and Austin-Travis County EMS invite local families to join in “meeting your local first responders, local non-profits, observe outdoor traffic stop demonstrations, and enjoy face painting for the kids.” The event will also feature a de-stimulation room, for anyone who needs to decompress in quiet. This event is free and open to the public.
