In this @USAutism video Dr. Stephen Shore and Attorney Carol Weinman tackle the tough topic of helping young autistic adults as they venture towards "leaving the nest" and becoming independent adults. With a discussion that includes: self-advocacy and self-disclosure, living away from home for the first time, attending college or joining the workforce, and managing the "soft skills" of becoming an autistic adult in friendships, dating, and romantic relationships, attending college, and living independently this video offers useful information and guidance for both individuals across the spectrum and those who support them. The session is moderated by Dr. Marlo Payne Thurman, President of the US Autism Association.
