FEATURE

By Haleigh Inscore In late 2004, Sheila Benham and Aman- da Cooper, founders of the Johnson County Autism Support Group, were two moms in a similar predicament. Both had a young son who had been diagnosed with autism, and both found themselves with limited resourc- es and information about the condition. It all started with Jack’s Walk; an idea that Sheila’s neighbor had come up with. It just so happened that Amanda’s son was named Jack, too, and was the same age. “I saw the flyer somewhere and I read the back and thought ‘this lady’s story is my story,’ Aman- da recalls. With the proceeds of Jack’s Walk, Sheila and Amanda were able to form a support group for families in the community who are affected by autism, holding the first meet- ing in February 2005. The group now holds Amanda Cooper and Sheila Benham, founders of meetings each month at Mt. Auburn United the Johnson County Autism Support Group. Methodist Church.
