We stay away----the fluorescent lights and the shelves upon shelves of stuff make for an unpleasant experience for Charlie.
Can you elaborate?
vab,
Here is a link showing Toys R Us as the official sponsor for Walk Now, which benefits Autism Speaks.

Autism Speaks wants to see a "world without autism". I do not.
I posted a blog entry a while back when Toys R Us issued a "special needs-friendly" catalogue of their toys. I don't like them anyways and had already decided to boycott them because of their gender segregation (and stereotyping). The catalogue was the icing on the cake. Regular toys and electronics had medicalized descriptions tagged on them. It's not enough to feel the social pressure to buy "the latest toy" for your kids, now you need to call the playroom your "therapy gym".
Time to bring this one back out...can I use it since I am getting slammed with emails about Toys R Us and their recent fundraiser?
