Autism Friendly Hotel

As awareness of autism grows, more and more places are becoming "autism friendly". There are the sensory friendly movies, amusement parks, restaurants, and and now hotels.

The Wyndham Tampa Westshore has become "autism friendly." So what exactly does "autism friendly" mean. According to the article in the local Tampa news, is means the following:

* The Center for Autism and Related Disorders consulted with the hotel

* Sensitivity and awareness training for the staff

* A bag of goodies for affected families which includes relevant information about the hotel

This makes me wonder where the laws of ADA falls when it comes to individuals on the autism spectrum. While, they may be able to physically access an environment if the lights, size, sounds, etc are too overwhelming, perhaps even painful, does that building have an obligation? Perhaps an "autism friendly" label is the middle ground.
