Raised in New Mexico in the 50's & 60's. Worked with public school programs for students with disabilities for 30+ years, mostly as a director of special education. Worked for 2 years at a small residential state school for individuals with mental retardation. Now working with a state project that provides training and information for parents of children with disabilities.
I was on the board of the state association for directors of special education. I also volunteered with ARC of Texas, the Special Olympics program at various levels.
There is lots I do not know, but I do have experience and contacts.
For adults with autism who are not quite independent, one group is offering a fun, laid-back environment to regularly interact with people beyond family members. https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2016/01/22/group-adults-autism-fit-in/21811/
