OUR Mission

To Show that Travel is for Everyone.

Traveling the Spectrum is a six-episode miniseries that celebrates the belief that everyone deserves to experience the joy of travel. The series follows the journeys of three extraordinary families as they embrace the challenges and triumphs of traveling with a family member on the autism spectrum.

Through its unscripted and heartfelt storytelling, our show aims to inspire and empower families while fostering empathy and understanding. With a vast majority of families with a member on the spectrum currently not traveling but expressing they would if more autism-inclusive accommodations were available — this series sheds light on the transformative power of accessible travel.

Traveling the Spectrum encourages people of all abilities to discover the magic of family vacations and the profound connections they create.

  • "My son was recently diagnosed with autism and travel is so difficult!! This is amazing! Thank you!!!"

    — Kristie B.

  • "I support this project because we all need to understand how the person feels. We need to slow down and be a lot more compassionate and understanding and accepting."

    — Maura G.

  • "ALL individuals deserve the ability to access our beautiful world without stigma, judgment, or barriers. Travel is an area of daily living, and as an occupational therapist and autistic ally, I firmly believe in this being accessible for all, in varied ways. Keep up the great work!!!"

    — Erin C.

  • "As a school counselor, I see firsthand how incredibly important it is to build background knowledge for kids—having opportunities to normalize travel in a way that is supportive of needs is priceless."

    — Bridget G.

  • "Our son is 5 and on the spectrum! We’ve been traveling the world with him since he was 2. Costa Rica, Jamaica, Greece, and more!"

    — Stefanie M.

  • "I have a son on the spectrum and know the struggles of everyday life and travel. I would love to see more awareness and autism-friendly services while traveling."

    — Brett M.

  • "My son is autistic, and I refuse to let him sit in the house and do nothing. We have been taking him on vacations since he was 4 months old. He goes on a yearly winter and spring break trip. He deserves a life, and I refuse to allow him to be locked away."

    — Rachelle G.

  • "We are an autism house. I myself am autistic; we also have both children who are autistic—both very different and on opposite sides of the spectrum. One teenager, one toddler. Even the idea of a vacation is challenging to even think about. The idea of a staff who is pre-trained in the necessary accommodations is incredible. It makes a huge difference knowing that regardless of the situation, there is a plan already in place for the staff. I don't have to educate and manage a meltdown at the same time."

    — Steffany S.

  • "As the aunt to a child on the spectrum, I saw what my sister and her family struggled with, and finding inclusiveness outside their home was sometimes a struggle. This show allows people to see how my beautiful city opens its doors to all and allows families, like my sister's, to enjoy life without fear or hesitation that their child won't be accepted."

    — Rosemarie M.
