Spring 2025 Board Member Spotlight: Kimberly Griego


Kimberly Griego has been part of the Autism Society El Paso Chapter board for many years and was a part of our Autistic Advisory panel before joining our AST board two years ago. Read our interview with Kimberly below!

What is your connection to Autism and/or the Autism community?

I am an Autistic mother to three beautiful sons, two of whom are Autistic.

¿Qué es lo que más le gusta de AST o de formar parte del Consejo?

I love the support that is offered to the community in the form of support groups for families and Autistic individuals to connect with each other. I also appreciate the advocacy aspect that we are able to assist and support because it is an important component for necessary legislation reform that has a positive impact for caregivers and individuals on the Autism spectrum.

Anything else you want to tell us about yourself or your Board service? 
Out of all the roles I have fulfilled, my favorite has to be the event coordinator for sensory-friendly film showings locally in El Paso, TX. I love seeing a whole theater of families sharing the same experience, comfortably relaxing, and spending time together.
