Transition to Adulthood
The transition to adulthood is commonly one of the most stressful periods for a family of an individual with Autism. It doesn’t have to be.
Often, due to limits on services and supports financed by insurance companies, Medicaid, and state governments, families are left feeling adrift and alone while planning for the future of their young adult. Fortunately, there is information available to help guide parents and caregivers through this period, and it’s never too early to start preparing.
Below you will find three resources.
