“The sensory friendly film was amazing. The Autism Society of Southern Arizona became my family here and as a mom I felt so happy to have a place that my son was accepted and loved and never judged for what he did or did not do. I have meet so many families now, who feel the way I felt back then when I felt I had no place to go for my son. I met a mom once who cried and hugged me when they came for the first time for finally they too found what they were missing.”

“It truly is an organization that trusts volunteers to help drive their mission!”

“At previous Sensory Friendly Films, I’ve attended through the Autism Society, I was able to meet with a father who also has a son with autism and connect with fellow members of the community,” Brad Jones said. Jones says Sensory Friendly Films are a comfortable environment surrounded with people who truly know what it’s like to have a child or family/friend with autism. “To see the look of joy and excitement on my child’s face when the movie began and how he emphatically followed that opening scene is something that I will never forget,” Jones says.

“Thanks for giving me a starting point with my son. It’s been a long journey with wrong diagnoses along the way. As parents 25-30 years ago there weren’t the resources needed nor the understanding of what people were going through with this affliction. It continues to be a journey and we appreciate folks like yourself that are there to support parents and individuals through this odyssey. Kudos.“
