For Adults

The Autism Society of Greater Akron (ASGA) developed this guide for adults who are newly diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to connect individuals living in Northeast Ohio local to supports and services. It is not intended – nor could it feasibly cover – every possible service; however, we hope it is a helpful starting point. 

Of note is that one of the most frequent questions we receive through our HelpLine is from people over the age of 18 requesting information about being evaluated for a diagnosis of Autism. Their stories are similar of growing up feeling different and misunderstood, but the differences eventually became barriers to employment, relationships, housing, and friends. Their challenges made them seek a diagnosis to better understand themselves in the hopes it would help remove or better manage the barriers they were experiencing. 

We put this information together to help you on this new journey.  You are not alone!
