Our son (4) was diagnosed with ASD. He struggles to sit still and that makes eating at restaurants really difficult because he just wants to run all around the room, climb the tables and chairs, take things off other tables etc.
Putting his headphones on with his Fire tablet helps keep him calm so we can enjoy our food (and so can everyone else). And we get plenty of sideways glances, like we're doing parenting wrong.
People don't see how many hours he spends running around the park, drawing, reading books, playing with toys etc.
