Has compiled a list of different types of resources on this page to help you seek
support in your area. There are many agencies and programs designed to support
families affected by autism who are facing hard times and need financial support.
Some of these are available to all families who meet financial criteria, while others
are specifically designed to support individuals with disabilities. We encourage you

AutismSpeaks Cares provides support for families affected by autism during natural
disasters and other catastrophic life events. The grant program helps families to cover
costs associated with critical expenses related to the well-being of the family member
with autism on a case-by-case basis. Please note, we DO NOT fund monthly recurring
costs such as rent, mortgages, utilities, or car payments.
