The Autism Society Event and Education Recordings Archive

As we all know, life can be overwhelming at times, for well everyone. But young adulthood can be even more confusing at times. Everyone, whether they have autism or not are trying to figure out what path in life they should take. I have autism, this has made the process different for me. I had fears and worries and concerns. I wondered who would help me once I exited school age services. Would "Team Chloe" just be pulled right out from under me? It was tough, there were road bumps, but through the help of many professionals, mentors and my parents, I was able to get the support I need to be the best me I can be. During this session I will talk about the supports I use throughout my daily life so that professionals, individuals with autism, and parents can get an idea of various supports that can be helpful, including sensory, behavioral, and visual supports. I will also discuss supports that have helped me through different situations. The goal of this session is to show people that anything is possible, sometimes if what you need doesn't exist you have to create it.
