Voice your needs in the National Housing and Residential Supports Survey
Autism Speaks is hosting a national survey about the housing needs of adolescents and adults with autism in the United States. Their goal is to increase support for both the public and private sectors to expand housing and supports for individuals with autism.
The survey takes about 15 minutes and is designed for individuals with autism ages 14 and older and their caregivers. Voice your concerns in the first survey of its kind, but hurry, the survey will close on August 9th! Autism Speaks is hoping to have 10,000 responses by Friday (just 3 days to go!) and to share the results on October 1st.

This is such a difficult next step for parents like us with children with autism to begin to consider. This type of discussion, as well as Lynn Vigo’s thoughtful post about housing help me and my family begin to confront our fears. We need to plan for this for our son. Thank you!
