Most people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can live with their families independently or with supports, and do well in conventional housing.

These individuals, their families and their caregivers often face profound challenges because of the inadequacy of their homes. An inadequate environment can directly influence the decision to place an individual with ASD in out-of-home care.
