SURVIVING THE SPECTRUM
Surviving the Spectrum is a first-of-its-kind short documentary that explores the intersection of autism and suicidality through the experiences of those living with autism in Oklahoma. Suicide is a growing epidemic within our population whose diagnostic numbers continue to increase yearly, highlighting the need for more research, visibility, and advocacy.
“As a filmmaker and AFO board member, I saw the value in this project, and as the father of an autistic teenager, I saw the need for it. Film has always been a vehicle for change and advocacy, and I can’t wait to see how far this reaches.”
Surviving the Spectrum will have its World Premiere at the Marvels of Media festival in NYC, March 27th- 29th, 2025.
As a nonprofit, we rely on donations, and we need your help to have the filmmakers attend film screenings and advocate for suicide prevention within the autism community while doing so.
