This highly acclaimed, insightful, and touching documentary, directed by Matt Fuller, brings awareness to the challenges of dating and love for people who have an autism spectrum disorder. "Autism in Love" is simultaneously sorrowful and heart wrenching while also encouraging and hopeful. It's a raw, sometimes emotional look into the lives of four people with ASD who share their frustrations, pain, and successes in trying to find, date, love, and connect to someone understands and appreciates them.

Doors will open at 2 p.m. Questions and answers with Ms. Nebeker and Mr. Hamrick, a couple featured in the movie, will follow at 4 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
