TDF presents an Autism-friendly Performance of Disney’s THE LION KING – get on the waiting list now!
So I already missed buying the tickets, even though they went on sale today – goes to show how popular this event is. Even if you’re not sure you can attend on September 30th, I highly recommend signing up for the waiting list (like I just did) in case any tickets become available – that’s how we scored tickets to Mary Poppins last month. Clicking the link below will automatically take you to their waitlist notification sign-ups. If you are one of the lucky few who got Lion King tickets, congrats!

You Are Invited To A RCSN Movie Preview Event June 21st – To Rome With Love
Autistic Like Me (A Special Campaign For Dads With Special Kids)
The ALM Outreach Campaign will hold educational forums (free and open to the public) where they will introduce audiences to the critical issues covered in the film, dispel some of the myths that can debilitate fathers and families, and encourage community groups and men to create their own resources for support.
With the goals of reaching families at forums around the country, beginning with various nearby cities including New York, Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Richmond, Charlotte, and Miami, the cast and crew are relying on donors to help make their dream a reality. The money raised will all go directly to touring the film and hosting community-building forums.
Donations of all amounts will receive a special “Thank You” in all ALM Outreach Campaign materials and on the NYMetroParents blog. Larger contributions may receive additional perks which will be announced throughout April, Autism Awareness Month, until the end of the fundraising period (for my donation I got some educational card decks!).
To watch a touching (kind of gut-wrenching) trailer of the film or to find out more about the campaign, click here.

You’re Invited to the Innocence and Experience Exhibition and Reception on 12/1/11
Thanks for letting me know about this unique event, Karel!
Pure Vision Arts (PVA) was founded in 2002 by The Shield Institute a not-for-profit human-service agency that educates and supports New Yorkers with autism and developmental disabilities. Pure Vision Arts is New York’s first specialized art studio and exhibition space for people with developmental disabilities. PVA is staffed by trained professionals with backgrounds in art education, fine arts, and art therapy who provide mentoring and support to the artists who attend the studio.
Pure Vision Arts is ultimately about facilitating social change by creating opportunities for access and inclusion in the arts for people with neurological challenges. Many PVA artists have led extraordinary lives and the sheer power and uniqueness of their work helps to break down negative public misperceptions and stereotypes about people who have disabilities. In a very short time, PVA has become a vital resource for new and emerging artists of vision who would otherwise remain culturally and socially isolated.
