In collaboration with the First Autism Center in Jeddah, join us for a talk titled ‘You Are Not Alone’ highlighting the challenges, opportunities and aspirations of children with special needs and parents’ role in supporting them. 

The event will feature a display of artwork made by children and young people from the Center as well as a  short VR experience for audiences to better understand what it feels like through the eyes of a child with autism. The Center aims to raise awareness about autism and provide a platform for discussion and support within the community. 

This event precedes the screening of the film Ezra (2023), which tells the heartfelt story of a father navigating life with his autistic son, their bond and journey in doing so.
