The event will also include a large quiet zone where families can take breaks.
Leading up to the October 26 event, we encourage our community to register in advance to help raise funds, awareness and acceptance! Everyone is invited and encouraged to join our efforts: families, friends, partners, and the community at large, who are driven by a desire to create more supportive, inclusive communities for people with autism.
