I’m a nationally known expert in a goofy little niche topic, and I had a good run with my crazy career, and I know that my books have brought many people much joy.
I’m also autistic (high functioning) and bright lights and loud noises are extremely painful to me. In fact, my body interprets loud noises as physical pain. My wiring is a bit different from “normies.”
Being around large groups of people is very difficult.
Online shopping changed my life. Instacart is a dream come true for me. I won’t venture into Walmart unless the need is urgent.
I think it’s wonderful that they’re considering this and implementing it. And the real question is, how does it hurt anyone else if they create a couple hours of “a more peaceful atmosphere”?

That was interesting - turning being a good listener into 10 books on an important subject. It is amazing how many real experts are right here among us in The Villages. I wonder if LOUD lawnmowers in the neighborhood bother you? They do me. Too bad that is the exception and not the rule.
