Mike Carr and Ann Hart discuss housing and independence for adults with autism, stressing that options depend on each person’s support needs. They note SSLCs have improved, recommend visiting programs and evaluating staff, and suggest starting early (short stays, camps, new caregivers) to build independence. They also mention that some states have more flexible waivers or housing models (relocation can help) and point families to Texas resources—Autism Society, Texas Parent to Parent, and local LIDDAs—urging networking and ongoing learning.
