Parent & Caregiver Support Group is Now Once Per Month! | |
Do you have a family member with autism? Are you interested in speaking with other guardians about raising an autistic child? Do you need clarification or introduction to resources and want real, relevant suggestions from parents who have been in your shoes? How do you want to talk about and shape your family’s autism journey?
Our Parent & Caregiver Support Group is following a new meeting schedule, taking place on the first Tuesday of each month via Zoom from 7-8:30 p.m. ET. Our group is open to all parents and caregivers of family members with autism and is designed to provide a safe space to vent, ask questions, and learn from one another. As a group, we give and receive support, talk through challenges and successes, encourage one another, and take each other’s perspectives as we progress through each stage of the autism journey.
You can learn more about Parent & Caregiver Support Group, and other support groups targeted towards family members, at the linked button below. Registration is only required the first time you attend any online program. If you have any questions about the group, or other support groups, reach out to Program Director Hadia Khan at hkhan@autismcincy.org or 513-561-2300 ext. 5.

In a Different Key Movie Screening on PBS
Tuesday, December 13 9/8c
| |
In a Different Key is based on the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book, In a Different Key, written by journalists Caren Zucker and John Donvan. The movie shows a true story of love, autism, and the fight to belong. The film features a mother who tracks down the first person ever diagnosed with autism to a rural Mississippi town to learn whether his life story holds promise for her own autistic son. Her journey exposes a startling record of cruelty and kindness alike-framed by forces like race, money, and privilege. She ultimately finds hope for a future with greater acceptance for those who are considered different.
For the first time, the In a Different Key movie will be premiering on PBS stations nationwide, and will be simultaneously streamed across all station-branded PBS platforms, including PBS.org and the PBS Video app. The initial premier is on Tuesday, December 13 at 9/8c, but it will be available to stream on the PBS site and app mentioned for 30 days following the preview.
