women

First time here - Greetings

Hi,

I joined Autism Women's Network, because I'm a filmmaker producing a documentary about black women with AS.  I started 10 years ago when I first heard about AS; overtime I've met more and more women.  We've become friends and collaborators on this project.  Take a look at the website for "ASPIE Girls".  http://aspiegirlsmovie.com/.

I live in Atlanta and the production is in Washington D.C/Maryland.  Yes, I have to travel to the D.C. area and I enjoy each trip.

That's my introduction and I'll be back.

Thanks.
