ASERT has compiled resources for those with autism and those who care for people with autism relating to the current COVID-19 outbreak.
Bringing autism resources together
The earliest symptoms of ASD can emerge between 6 – 18 months of age, with reliable diagnosis possible by 24 months. These symptoms are developmental “red flags” and do not necessarily mean your child has ASD but you may want to contact your child’s doctor if you notice these symptoms in your child.
This manual, developed by the Rochester Institute of Technology, in conjunction with other up and coming higher learning institutes, and funded by the Autism Speaks Family Services Community Grant, is designed to help colleges and universities prepare to support individuals with autism attending college and help them succeed.
This book is written for vocational rehabilitation professionals and employment services providers – the people whose job it is to find jobs for people with disabilities. This guide contains a lot of detailed information about how the features of people with ASD and the needs of the workplace interact, with suggestions about addressing common challenges from those interactions.
