Fireworks: Friend or Foe?

Fireworks?  Every autistic child's worst nightmare?

Apparently not.

And I'm serious in saying we were standing right underneath where they were setting them off.

Couldn't have picked a louder spot. 

This kid just laughed, flapped, yelled, and smiled the entire time.

This kid, on the other hand, started off enjoying them.

Then quickly dug out the headphones.

And told me that the fireworks were giving him a headache and were probably going to make him go blind.
