Relevant links and resources
An objective for Aurelia is to create a comprehensive listing of autism resources available so that parents or autistic adults do not have to search the Internet for hours looking for something that might help.
Our team is creating a directory of service providers, facilities, resources and free downloadables that can assist.
If you would like us to send you a list of resources, please email [email protected].
