Westchester Community Foundation is sponsoring a film series dedicated to generating discussion around topics that affect us locally, including health, environment, education, housing, and energy. The second film in this series was Wretches & Jaberers, scheduled for Wednesday, September 21. This film debunks the myth that autistic individuals do not have feelings, cannot communicate, and have low intelligence. The autistic individuals in the film use assistive technology to express themselves and communicate with others. The Foundation has supported a range of programs that encourage persons with those with autism express themselves through music, theater, visual arts, and, with the help of assistive technology, be educated in the public school system.
