The Institute’s Indiana Resource Center for Autism and Center on Community Living and Careers, along with WTIU Bloomington and the City of Bloomington, are sponsoring a viewing of the documentary film Autism in Love on Saturday, April 23, 2016 starting at 2:30 pm in the City Council Chambers, Bloomington. 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.
Special Guests Lindsey Nebeker and Dave Hamrick, a couple featured in Autism in Love, will answer questions following the film. Questions and answers with Ms. Nebeker and Mr. Hamrick will follow at 4:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
Educators, family members, parents, caregivers, and adults with ASD should plan to attend. The Indiana Institute on Disability and Community is committed to providing equal access to this event for all participants.
