1 Session | Registration opens 9/24/2025 10:00 AM MST (Arizona)
Film & Discussion: What is Autism? It’s never easy learning that someone you love has a developmental condition like autism. Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. Join us as we watch a couple of short informative films about Autism followed by a discussion led by Rob who has raised a daughter with Autism and a Son with Tourette’s Syndrome.
