Supporting Adults on the Autism Spectrum

I recently had the privilege of visiting The Coffeehouse Center of Bucks of Bucks County, a community support program for young adults with Aspergers and PDD-NOS as they transition to adulthood. As you will see in the video below, this wonderful program helps the young adults connect with and support one another in order to build social skills, self-esteem, and just have fun. Hopefully more programs like this one will develop around the country as children on the autism spectrum grow up and head off to college or out into “the real world.”
