The Concept
One of the most compelling and foundational stories we share about Autism Life and Living (ALL) is the story of our inception. ALL was founded by a determined single mother of two young men with autism. Her journey of navigating the challenges and triumphs of raising her sons highlighted a significant support service and housing gap for young adults with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD). This gap left many families struggling to find suitable and supportive environments where their children could thrive independently. Her experience and vision led to the creation of ALL, driven by the belief that these vulnerable individuals are not only capable of learning and achieving independence but also of becoming self-determined, productive members of society. This story is a testament to the power of a mother’s love and advocacy, demonstrating how personal struggles can inspire significant community change and support.
