Autism Women's Network

On April 24, 2010, The Carson family was unaware of just how upside down their world was going to become.  Baker, 13 autistic son, had been home from school for a few days. I was exhausted and in need of a nap. Anyone who has an autistic child can relate. Sleep is just something that is not very neccessary to them. I had not seen a television or heard a radio station since his arrival home. My 15 year old daughter was sleeping through the normal Disney videos at top volume. Dad had come home and Baker was anxious to get away from the women and go four wheeler riding with his Daddy. Daddy was off that day.

Beginning on June 16th 2010, AWN Radio will begin it's special online broadcast coverage of one of the most novel ideas in US film industry's history. Slated to kickoff an unprecedented journey across America in less than 2 weeks will be the talented crew of the United States of Autism Documentary.

Starting on June 23rd through August 2nd a truly unique event will be taking place across the golden highways of the United States of America. Unlike any other autism film, the United States of Autism Documentary will set out to capture the most diverse, unparalleled, and unprecedented personal experiences of autism ever recorded within one movie.

For 40 days, the film crew will travel from coast to coast, totaling 10,000 miles, interviewing 21 families, 2 members of congress, 2 members of the autism community who have had movies made about their life, as well as psychologists, physicians, and leaders throughout our nation.
