Supporting Our Customers with Autism

Supporting Our Customers with Autism

At 8BitBeyond, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy retro gaming, regardless of their individual needs or challenges. We're committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all our customers, including those on the autism spectrum.

Our Autism-Friendly Shopping Experience

We understand that traditional retail environments can be overwhelming for individuals with autism or sensory sensitivities. That's why we've implemented the following accommodations:

1. Appointment-Only Visits

  • Our shop is open by appointment only, ensuring a calm and uncrowded atmosphere during your visit.
  • This allows us to provide personalized attention and support tailored to your needs.

2. Sensory-Friendly Environment

  • We offer the option to turn off all sound in the shop, creating a quiet space free from auditory distractions.
  • Upon request, we can adjust or turn off lighting to accommodate those with light sensitivity.

3. Personalized Support

  • Our staff is trained to provide patient and understanding assistance to all customers.
  • We're happy to adapt our communication style to best suit your preferences.

Additional Support

  • Detailed Product Descriptions: Our website features clear, accurate descriptions and photos of each item to help you make informed decisions.
  • Predictable Processes: We strive to make our ordering and delivery processes as straightforward and consistent as possible.
  • Customer Service: Our team is always ready to address any concerns or special requests you may have.

We're continuously working to improve our services for the autism community. If you have any suggestions or feedback on how we can better support you, please don't hesitate to reach out.
