Are you a person on the autism spectrum (age 21-30) who is interested in meeting new people and exploring the community surrounded by supportive friends?

We are seeking participants for two separate 6 day workshops taking place in Valdosta, GA (week of 1/22/24) and Amelia Island, Florida (week of 1/29/24) . Each workshop will work with 12 young adults on the autism spectrum, with a focus on fun connection with others. We are looking for young adults on the autism spectrum being themselves and sharing their journey with the group as they integrate into the community. 

The workshop will include improvisational games, relationship coaching, dance classes and friendship gatherings out in the community with other participants. The workshop will be filmed to create a short documentary style series. Inclusion Films has a 15 year history of providing filmmaking workshops and camps for students on the autism spectrum - and look forward to creating a fun environment for participants to learn and grow on both sides of the camera. We look to raise awareness about autism as we celebrate our differences and celebrate our individuality.
