Date: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Time: 6:30‐8:00 p.m. Location: Watkins Early Childhood Center 21 Burns Drive, N.N. 23601 Presenters: Renée and Jason Salas Renée Salas is an autistic adult with a clinical diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. She is the mother of three amazing children, two of whom are on the autism spectrum as well. Please join us for a personal and lighthearted evening with Renée and her “neurotypical” husband, Jason. Renée, with Jason’s support, will share her experiences as an autistic individual and as a Mom of both autistic and neurotypical children. Topics will run the gamut, from sarcasm and social awkwardness and misunderstandings to ritualistic habits and sensory integration issues, with a lot of comical anecdotes along the way. Renée and Jason are happy to share their very positive outlook on autism and what it means to their family. Note: Renée would like to make this evening heavy on the Q&A, as she realizes the importance of sharing information back and forth on the subject.

A minimum of 5 participants is required for programs to take place. If schools are closed due to inclement weather or if there is low registration, the program will be cancelled.
