People with autism and their families often have a variety of additional expenses required to meet their unique needs. Many are looking for financial assistance. Autism Speaks has compiled a list of different types of resources on this page to help you seek support in your area.  https://www.autismspeaks.org/financial-autism-support

This financial resource page is also available in Spanish.

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 recognize that many funding sources are receiving high volumes of requests and may not have the capacity to fund every need. However, we encourage you to explore all of these different funding sources to determine the best fit.

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.
