The movie documents first-person portrayals that show the challenges faced by those with autism and shows love can find a way.<\/p>\n
In the movie, four adults at different places on the autism spectrum open up their personal lives as they navigate dating and romantic relationships. Through these stories, we see that autism isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all disorder, and just like neurotypical people (those without developmental disabilities), those on the spectrum also experience the complexity, heartache, and joy that all come when making a romantic connection. \u201cAutism in Love\u201d was called \u201caffectionate but clear-eyed\u201d by The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n
A community discussion will follow the screening, and resources about supporting those with autism will be available.<\/p>\n
