Autism Life & Living, Inc. . So true. I'm a 29 year old nurse with a 27 year old brother with ASD. I think about this often. I'm educating myself. Found this non profit called SibLink of Arizona . Good support system. Maybe if there are siblings that you know that have this concern this non profit can help
You have started a solution to the problem. But it will take money and lots of it. Hopefully, people will follow your Facebook page and donate to the much needed cause. No donation is too small. I hope they all will feel it in their hearts and make a donation. Thank you, for all you have done and continue to do.
Take this pledge. People are people not conditions and we need to address them accordingly.

'She felt safe': How autism-certified travel options can be life-changing for families

Few families with an autistic child go on vacation, saying there aren’t enough accessible autism-certified travel options.If you don't choose a day to relax, your body and mind will choose it for you. -Brooke
Absolutely! I use to push myself so hard and one day I thought to myself that I’d take the day off. But then I remembered I had a lot of laundry to do so I got up and proceeded to do it. When I bent down to pick up some clothes my back went completely out. My husband had so literally drag me very slowly into the bedroom where it took me about 45 minutes to crawl into the bed. And there I remained for over a week. If the house was on fire I wouldn’t have been able to get out. That’s how bad the pain was. So, you’re statement is 100% true!

How It Started
The Concept
The concept of ALL was born out of a mother’s uncertainty of not knowing what would become of her 2 sons, both of whom have autism, when she was no longer here to care for them; a feeling echoed by many parents of adult children with autism. After extensive research for viable options for her boys, she recognized that options for safe and affordable housing for this vulnerable population in Arizona are virtually non-existent. That, compounded with high abuse rates for disabled adults and a significant increase in the prevalence of autism, validated her concerns. Though the concept began for young adults with autism, in honor of her boys, it includes young adults with autism and other I/DD.
Statistics Matter
Why We Do What We Do

Data Matters
Independent Community Starting Point
Adults with autism and other intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) face a critical shortage of housing options and access to supports they need to thrive. To drive future planning, funding and significant advancements in public policy a comprehensive market analysis of the needs and preferences of individuals with autism and/or IDD is critical. Autism Life and Living is proud to have been part of the Market Advisory Council for the Greater Phoenix Housing Market Analysis.
Trisector Advisory Council
The analysis involved collecting data, identifying barriers to meeting housing demand and developing ways the public, private, nonprofit and philanthropic sectors can work together to prevent the displacement or homelessness of this vulnerable population. This groundbreaking analysis has the potential to positively and permanently impact public policy and funding streams.
