What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a phone photograph of a backlit advertising panel mounted on a gray wall, apparently in an airport concourse, with a small Clear Channel Airports tag. The poster shows a stop-motion-style night garden full of glowing-eyed creatures around a small child covering their ears, under hand-lettered text reading "Sensory sensitivity is a sign of autism." Autism Speaks and Ad Council logos and the URL autismspeaks.org/signs appear in the corners. The ad's messaging is reproduced as found. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. Embedded GPS location metadata was stripped before publication.
