As we are in modern times, we see the fact that many individuals, including most autistics, are a part of the communities in which we reside. While autistic individuals may live in varying degrees of independence from living on their own such as myself, with family, a community (or group) home or even a semi-lockdown mental health facility, they are a part of the community as as such there needs to be a greater sense of understanding, acceptance and welcoming to the communities in which we reside.
