One mother I messaged with called those "incendiary
breakables". A very real concern. In this case, those oil
lamps may result in death or dismemberment.

In your case, a good supply of batteries and flashlights is
called for. And one or more for the autistic child to blink
on and off, repeatedly until the parents go insane.

If you get the metal frame lamps, they can hang from a cup
hook. From the doorway, or from the ceiling. My trailer has
wood strips that conceal the seams of the ceiling panels.
Which strips are strong enough to screw a cup hook, and
support a lantern.

Kerosene lanterns don't put out a LOT of light, but enough
to stumble
around by.

We have on occasion rambunctious little kids around (one is
on the
autistic spectrum - luckily, improving in social skills very
much
lately). Therefore I'd hate the combination of flames and
flammable
liquids around in my home. Other than that, I love
hurricane lanterns.
