In Miami, a local organization is working to support families with autistic children. Parent to Parent of Miami is led by President and CEO Farides Garcia, who has a personal connection to the cause as the mother of an autistic son. Garcia has been with the organization since 2003 and has held various roles, including board treasurer, before becoming CEO in 2021.

Her background is in nursing, and she has dedicated two decades to this work. Further details about Garcia's work and the organization's efforts can be found in an interview with Miami Autism Dad Victor Antunez, available through Miami's Community News.
