Teen Center

All teenagers and young adults – including those with autism spectrum disorder – have aspirations for their personal development, physical and emotional well-being, employment, social relationships, and more. Puberty, social challenges, and independent decision making are real-life challenges during this time.

Discover many tools and resources in the Teen Center to support quality of life and independence of teenagers and young adults with ASD.
