Support Should Not End at 18 *
Many families spend years navigating services, therapies, and educational systems for their autistic children. When those children transition into adulthood, families often face a new set of complex challenges with fewer resources and far fewer supports.
Families of Autistic Adults Network (FAAN) exists to help families navigate this stage with greater guidance, connection, and community.
How FAAN Supports Families
-
Education
Resources and guidance for navigating adulthood and autism.
-
Advocacy
Promoting awareness of the lifelong needs of autistic individuals and their families.
-
Community
Connecting families who understand the journey and can support one another.
Serving Families Nationwide
Families of Autistic Adults Network (FAAN) is a national nonprofit dedicated specifically to families navigating adulthood and autism. While many supports exist for children on the autism spectrum, families often find far fewer resources once their loved ones reach adulthood.
FAAN is building a network of education, resources, advocacy, and community to ensure families are not navigating this stage alone.
