We are a caring community dedicated to supporting families like yours. Our mission is to help families who have adult kids with autism. We believe everyone deserves to lead a happy and fulfilling life, and we’re here to make that happen.
Autism Cares is one of the first Nevada non-profit organizations focused on addressing the gap between Autistic adults and their access to community resources needed to help them become independent, productive, and increase their inclusion in the community.
Autistic adults have different abilities to live independently, work, go to school, be involved in the community, exercise, and interact with people. This means each one requires varying degrees of support depending upon the activity he or she may be performing.
When an Autistic person reaches adult age, they are now required to find their own community resources, self-advocate, and learn how to navigate what it means to work, live independently, and/or be included in the community. Autistic adults and their families commonly struggle to find local resources to assist them at this stage.
It is for these reasons Autism Cares is committed to bridging the gap that exists for all levels of Autistic adults to access community resources. Connecting them to already existing resources is the vehicle to make them successful.
Here at Autism Cares Nevada, we offer lots of support and programs designed just for families with adult autistic children. We understand the unique challenges and joys this journey can bring. Our programs include:
Life Skills Training: We help adults with autism learn important life skills like cooking, budgeting, and taking care of themselves.
Job Support: We assist in finding job opportunities and provide training to help adults with autism thrive in their workplaces.
Family Support Groups: Our support groups are a safe space for you to meet other families, share experiences, and get advice.
