The Autism Resource Project
(ARP) stands as a beacon of hope and support, uniquely centralizing myriad resources - services, supports, and products—dedicated to empowering families, individuals, educators, caregivers, and all who champion the cause of autistic, neurodiverse, and disabled populations. Available 24/7 from any location, ARP serves as a vital lifeline. It recognizes the critical role of parents and guardians as the foremost advocates, many of whom grapple with the daunting task of finding and accessing vital resources. In a country where autism affects more than 1 in 30 individuals annually and with a global impact touching 75 million lives, the ARP's role is not just beneficial; it is essential for transitioning lives from surviving, to thriving.
The Problem:
No standardized support protocols currently exist for autistic and other neurodivergent members of our society. Equally important, are the mechanisms and tools to assist those who support this community. An increasing number of people, like parents and other caregivers, are suffering from increased anxiety and depression as they stress about how to best care for those they love, both short and long-term.
While there are numerous resources available, some are covered by insurance but most are not. To date, there is no centralized resource to find and secure these resources. The autistic/neurodiverse and disabled populations in the United States, and around the world, are ever growing and important communities within our society. Where is the needed support as they navigate the complexities of communication in our evolving global civilization?
The Solution:
Our goals at the Autism Resource Project are lofty, but uncompromising. We are committed to creating a single-source, one-stop website that curates and shares the most important, valuable and legitimate information, both existing and emerging, about the science behind and resources that support the neurodiverse and disabled communities.
