A better life for adults with autism is the motto of The Academy for Adults with Autism, a non-profit organisation, based in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, aiming to improve public awareness, support and opportunities for adults on the autism spectrum. Debbie Flugel, Project Manager at The Academy for Adults with Autism, chats to Leigh-Anne Williams about how the organisation was founded with the intention of finding appropriate solutions to the dire lack of suitable occupation and care facilities for autistic adults in South Africa and globally, and how people can volunteer and donate to the home.
