Most can agree that moving can be very stressful, especially for adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Not only is the transition challenging for the individual but the family as well.  Finding the perfect housing and necessary services can be complicated, leaving families unsure where to start. Autism Speaks understands the journey can be overwhelming. Please visit The Housing and Residential Support section of the Autism Speaks website for a series of tools to guide you through the process of establishing residential services and support for your loved on with autism.

The purpose of The Housing and Residential Support sections is to:
