Fernanda Jorgensen—a dedicated advocate and loving parent of a child on the spectrum—shared this moving reflection after attending our screening event of The Voice Inside: “As a parent of a child on the spectrum, one of my greatest worries is the uncertainty of his future. Like many parents, I sometimes find myself focusing on the challenges…” But that night, something shifted. “The series’ powerful message of ‘achieve anyway’ filled me with hope and reinforced my belief in his ability to overcome obstacles and thrive in his own way.” 🔗 Read her original post on LinkedIn here: shorturl.at/adO4R 💙 Thank you, Fernanda, for your beautiful words, and for being a voice of strength, love, and hope in our community. 🎬 The Voice Inside Created by Gena Sims Presented by Autism Theater Project Follow us to hear more voices that inspire. #TheVoiceInside #AutismTheaterProject #ParentingAutism #AutismAwareness

🎧 A while back, Gena sat down with Tim Goldstein, Autistic Philosopher of Neurodiversity: Life in the Neuro Cloud, for a rich and honest conversation about autism, communication, and what true inclusion looks like—on stage and in life. Topics include: 🎭 What it’s really like working with autistic actors, and why representation must be real 🕯️ The origin of The Voice Inside and the tragedy that fueled its mission 📖 How storytelling can shift the narrative from “what’s missing” to “what’s possible” 🧠 How non-speaking individuals experience and express pain 🗝️ Why tone, voice, and even singing can unlock authentic connection …and many more! 🔗 Listen here: shorturl.at/EdPlG #Neurodiversity #AutisticVoices #AutismTheaterProject #TheVoiceInside

🎬 Episode 3 of The Voice Inside takes us inside a moment of quiet chaos: Matt can't concentrate. The sound of the fountains outside pierces through the walls, and even the silence seems to hum with pressure. The numbers blur. His thoughts spiral. But then Brad, a familiar face from high school, shows up. 💭 What follows is a raw glimpse into: 🔹 The overwhelming impact of sensory overload in autism 🔹 The battle with internalized negativity 🔹 And the healing that begins with one small act of compassion This is what happens when someone stops to listen—and chooses kindness. ❤️ Watch the scene. It stays with you. #TheVoiceInside #AutismSupport #SensoryOverload #Neurodiversity #Friendship

🌟 Just released: an exclusive clip from Episode 2 of The Voice Inside. Matt says he’s ready. His mom hesitates—not because she doubts his intelligence, but because she’s trying to shield him from the pain of falling short. She tells him he has God-given value. He asks if she believes he’ll pass. She can’t say yes. He hears: no. This scene captures one of the hardest parts of parenting: knowing when to protect, and when to let go. For Matt, this isn’t just about a test. It’s about being trusted to try. 🎥 Watch it unfold. ❤️ You’ll feel this one. #TheVoiceInside #ParentingAutism #AutismTheaterProject
