autism in america today

As a nation, we are failing individuals with autism on the most fundamental levels.

Our healthcare, education, criminal justice, and employment systems are simply not built to handle the unique challenges autism presents. Worst still, failing to address issues in one of these areas inevitably leads to problems in the rest, creating a vicious cycle that many individuals with autism have no chance of escaping.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

As medical bodies have begun to recognize in recent years, the most debilitating symptoms of autism can be eased. With specific and specialized support, individuals with autism can live more independent, fulfilling lives.
