Emory Autism Center programs are geared toward helping autistic adults achieve their personal desired outcomes and wellbeing. Nearly 85% of adults diagnosed with autism in the United States are unemployed or underemployed and struggle to complete higher education programs without extra support. We work to help autistic young people transition into adulthood as they learn to navigate independence while working alongside others to achieve goals, then to continue to experience meaningful relationships and activities that increase life satisfaction.
