The
Roaring Fork Autism Network, The Aspen Hope Center, and Extreme Sports
Camp are pleased to announce the one-night showing of the powerful
documentary Autism and Trauma on
July 31st at 7 pm at the Crystal Theatre in Carbondale. The movie,
which brings awareness to issues of how incidents of trauma impact both
adults and children on the autism spectrum, will be followed by a panel
discussion featuring the movie's producer Dr. Valerie Paradiz, adult
advocate Paul Nussbaum, who is featured in the film, along with regional panelists from the Aspen Hope Center, the Roaring Fork Autism Network, and the Roaring Fork School District.
Autism and Trauma is
a 40-minute documentary about adults with autism discussing the effects
of trauma in childhood and their survivorship stories as adults. Many
people with autism experience trauma, often leading them down
the difficult path of developing additional disorders such as PTSD.
"We
are determined to get this important message out there, not only for
adults who need support in recovery from trauma, but also for children
with autism and their families," says Paradiz, who is Executive Director
of The Autistic Global Initiative in Boulder. The debut of the movie
this spring kicked off a series of national initiatives aimed at
bringing awareness to this still hidden, yet pervasive, problem. The country remains uninformed on the urgent need for capacity-building in
education, research, employment, housing and residential support, and community involvement for those on the autism spectrum.
Focusing
on both adult and childhood issues, this movie and panel discussion is
recommended for parents, advocates, professionals, and educators as a window into what trauma can look like for people with autism spectrum disorders.
This
movie is presented through the Roaring Fork Autism Network Speaker
Series, an education initiative of RFAN, Extreme Sports Camp, and Light it Up Blue and is co-hosted by the Aspen Hope Center.
