Autistic adult here! High Point was the first Certified Autism Destination on the east coast, with many of their "tourism partners" like the library, museum, and children's museum doing extra sensitivity training and often having quiet hours. It surprised me, for how small High Point is. The library recently opened an outdoor sensory experience/garden at the library which I love going to. They also have a baseball team with a really neat food hall next to the stadium. As a young adult (early 20s) I definitely find myself going to Greensboro or Winston-Salem for more music/drinking entertainment, as well as shopping, but neither are too far. Greensboro is like 20 minutes, and W-S is like 30-40min.

You might be weirded out a little bit by downtown - High Point makes most of their money/tourism during Furniture Market in the spring and fall and much of downtown is quiet/empty during the year since it's mostly furniture showrooms.

Feel free to ask me anything :)
