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.
Hi, welcome here! :)
Would love to see your movie once you're through. I personally identify strongly as Latina with Native American roots so would like to see more attention to diversity in autism community...
Warm welcome!
Best of luck on your project, I am not African American, but would love to see it. I am from Atlanta originally myself, but live in the Chattanooga area now. :-)
Thank you. I am going to show a segment next week in Atlanta on Wednesday, 9th, 7:30pm, Charis Books in Little Five Points.
If you happen to be in town come on over. You can tell some friends too.
I hope that this relates to everyone beyond race and regional location.
Thank you for support. I hope their experiences give a greater perspective for everyone.
Hi Debra, would you please email me at sharon@autismwomensnetwork.org
We had corresponded a little presviously about you possibly doing an interview on our blog talk radio show. We took short break from taping our podcasts, and will be resuming our broadcasts this winter. We'd like to get you in the lineup for an interview and hear more about the latest on your project. Look forward to hearing from you.
Welcome to AWN, Debra and thank you for sharing this information!
