87% of families with children on the Autism spectrum don't travel...

This show was created to change that.

Traveling the Spectrum is a six-part series that offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of three families living with autism, showcasing their heartfelt journeys toward understanding, acceptance and the joy of creating memories and discovering the world together. 

"Traveling the Spectrum is about the importance of acceptance, understanding and support for people who have additional needs, and the huge difference that those things can make to an experience like a vacation. But more than that, it’s about love. The families featured in this series all have such a clear, complete and unconditional love for each other, a love that the viewer can’t help but feel as well. Traveling the Spectrum opens up a doorway of acceptance and appreciation for all different types of people, something that the world is always in need of."
