Inclusion and accessibility in community programs is a human right. People with autism spectrum disorder can meaningfully participate and receive the supports they need in libraries, recreation programs, schools, court systems, and other community programs. There are many services, opportunities, and information available throughout your community. Use the tools and resources in the Municipal Center to get familiar with disability rights and community supports for people with ASD.
