How to Dance in Ohio

Season 1 Episode 20 | 28m 45s

Emilio Amigo, Liz Feld, Susan Penfield, Moderator

A first kiss, a first dance. These are the rites of passage of American youth that hold the promise of magic, romance and initiation into adulthood. For kids from all walks of life, these first steps toward intimacy are at once exciting and terrifying. For some teenagers and young adults on the autism spectrum, the transition can be nothing less than paralyzing.
