Madison House Autism Foundation

Adam was one of the first volunteers for our autism community action group project in Utah. After struggling with finding work and creating connections with others, he came across this group forming in his city.

“The reason why I wanted to join the RWG [Regional Working Group] was I want to be the voice and the one people can look up to and see that they are not alone,”

Today he has forged close friendships with other group members and is the lead coordinator. His leadership and dedication to the autism community is phenomenal, and we are so glad he was recently recognized for his outstanding work.

Thank you Utah Nonprofits Association, UServeUtah, and The Association of Fundraising Professionals Utah Chapter for putting this event together!

Your support helps to fuel housing solutions across the country - through resources, programming, published shareable data, and more.

We will continue our work as one of the nation's leaders in the formation of autism housing options. We want to empower autistic adults to live with independence, dignity, and purpose, and give their families peace of mind as they live and work in their communities.

Every autistic adult deserves the opportunity to thrive. To live, work, and belong in a world where they can share their talents and abilities in the greater community. Yet too often, autistic adults face isolation and barriers that limit their potential.

Your support helps us in creating communities where autistic adults and their families have a voice in shaping resources in their cities and towns. We provide programming, tools, and education across the nation.

With your support we can continue and expand our important work to build a future where autistic adults belong and thrive.

One Week until !

More than 5 million adults and growing are navigating scarce resources every day, and they and their families are searching for answers: What will housing look like for them when I’m gone? How do I navigate scarce support services as a sibling? How do I advocate for more employment opportunities?

We see you, and that’s why we’re here. Together, we can better the future for autistic adults and their parents, siblings, and neighbors. Your support would help us to provide programming, resources, national advocacy, and more as we address the needs you care about most.

Behind many autistic adults stands a caregiver that may be a parent, sibling, friend, or professional. Their understanding and caring provide support to navigate lives at home, in the community, or at work.

These caregivers often put their own needs aside while ensuring the person that they are working with is supported.

Together we shine a light on the important work of caregivers - providing resources, connections, and tips on navigating this role and how to take care of themselves while caring for someone else.
