The Autism Society of Florida is a nonprofit 501(c)(3). Our board of directors is all volunteer parents of people with autism and adults with autism. We are an affiliate of the Autism Society of America. For 34 years, we have been working to ensure full participation and self-determination in every aspect of life for people across the autism spectrum. We work every day to empower lives by opening avenues of self-advocacy and advocating on behalf of others in a way that values equity, respect, dignity and diversity in all communities. The Autism Society of Florida is located in Orlando, Florida.
Adults with Autism
Autism is a lifelong condition and the available, necessary supports change as you move through major life phases. Some people with autism maintain successful careers in demanding fields, but unfortunately, statistics show that the majority of adults with autism are unemployed. The search for housing and residential supports can be challenging, and transportation options can be limiting. The Autism Society of Florida understands the pressing need for supports and programs for people on the spectrum across the lifespan. Your quality of life may depend on ongoing supports that are specific to your educational, medical, social, recreational, family and employment needs.
