The collection of photographs of the school and student accommodation at http://www.judgerc.org/photos.html is also disturbing. Many rooms are full bright colours, loud patterns, shiny surfaces, eye-catching features - this would be upsetting to many autistic people and could cause sensory overload in some.

Many autistic bloggers have commented on the decor being liable to cause sensory overload. JRC staffers dismiss this, because the artwork is "beautiful." I recognized some Warhols. Andy most probably was autistic, so their decorator may have been trying to install some autistic pride? I think all this should be mentioned.Berkeleysappho 17:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
I seriously doubt the decorator was thinking of anything other than "let's make the place look nice for these disabled kids". Autistic pride is the last thing you'll find at JRC, that's like jewish pride at a nazi convention. User:GarethNelson
