Hello, This is Jessica Militich, a recent graduate from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Colleges are known to be challenging for everyone. But as a student on the autism spectrum, I always had unique challenges with school. Unfortunately, coursework became even more challenging when remote learning was established to protect students from the corona

PRESIDENT’S MONTHLY LETTER – MAY, 2021
Aloha!
Last month, ASH was pleased to see the support from the Governor and the Hawaii County Mayor in proclaiming Autism Acceptance Month.
With April behind us, we will continue to celebrate differences as we work to build an inclusive society where individuals with autism live fully through connection and acceptance.
This month we take time to recognize all the moms for being loving advocates and champions. We thank them for their unwavering care and for #celebratingdifferences with us each and every day.
ASH has relaunched some activities that bring us together such as our “Sensory Friendly Films”. Our second in-theater film is scheduled for the end of June, please be on the lookout for the announcement. “Just For You” – our social group for older teens and young adults, continues monthly, and details and registration can be found on our website. At the end of April, we launched The ASH Gamer Group, hosted by Jeremy Wilson on the Big Island. A fun time was had by all, new friends were made – so plans are underway for another gathering of gamers soon.
And don’t forget to Save the Date for the first annual ASH golf tournament – “Swing for the Spectrum” to be held on September 17 at Pearl Country Club. For more information about the tournament and other ASH programs and activities, visit our website at www.autismsocietyofhawaii.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
Let’s join together and thank the Moms of our community – on this Mother’s Day, and EVERY day! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
Sincerely,
Dennis Maher
President, Board of Directors
