What is life like as an adult with autism?

Daily life may require extra effort when it comes to navigating conversations, workplace expectations, or busy environments. Some adults benefit from structured routines, quiet spaces, and clear communication to feel comfortable and confident. Support services, therapy, and accommodations can make a meaningful difference in building independence, maintaining employment, and forming relationships.

With the right support, autistic adults can thrive in careers, friendships, and family life. Learning self-advocacy skills, managing sensory needs, and accessing behavioral or mental health services can improve overall quality of life and emotional well-being.

At Divine Steps ABA, we support individuals across the lifespan, helping teens and young adults through ABA therapy  plans in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina build functional, social, and life skills that promote independence and confidence.
