On Friday, the Washington Autism Advisory Council (WAAC) brought together service providers, stakeholders, parents, and individuals with ASD to examine issues associated with the transition to adulthood. Presentations throughout the day described challenges to healthcare access, highlighted model programs for residential living and support for vocational training and higher education, and discussed state resources for transition services. One of the highlights of the day was the panel of adults with ASD who shared their personal experiences–both challenges and triumphs—with the highly engaged WAAC audience.
