Newly Identified/Diagnosed Resources for Adults
More and more, we are hearing from individuals who are being identified as autistic later in life. This page highlights programs and supports for adults provided by the ASCV as well additional resources suggested by members of our ASCV Self-Advocate Council that provide valuable information, insights, and first-hand perspectives.
Need help navigating autism resources?
Our Information & Referral service provides one-on-one guidance to caregivers, individuals with autism, and professionals on a variety of topics (typically by phone and email) to connect them with the best possible local, state, and national resources.
