Neuro Diverse Living, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit founded to empower and empower people with autism and other neurodiversities, announced this week that it is seeking partners and corporate sponsors to create its first sustainable personal care home community build up.

Given that the cost of caring for Americans with autism will climb to $ 461 billion by 2025 and could exceed $ 3.2 million per person over their lifetime (according to statistics from Autism Speaks), Neuro is Diverse Living ready to support autistic adults, families of adult children with autism and other people at risk.

“We know autism changes everything, which is why nearly 87% of adults with autism stay with their families and 35% need 24-hour support,” said Jim Richardson, co-founder of Neuro Diverse Living. “What if their parents can no longer look after them? Where will they live? How will they live?”

Neuro Diverse Living will offer privately paid, smart home-enabled nursing home communities the most modern security features.

Evidence-based, bespoke programming and bespoke activities for every resident’s daily life focus on career readiness and employment, relationship building, good health and emotional wellbeing.

These same communities will be open to other people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are interested in alternative ways of living and who are part of a vibrant home care environment for neurodiverse.

“My wife and I were honored to raise a wonderful autistic son, which has given us firsthand experience of the challenges facing families of autistic people today,” said Richardson. “We are determined to serve as many families as possible, starting in Bucks County, PA, their home for 20 years. We are seeking sponsors and partners to help realize our vision for this underserved population. Together we can all rise to the challenge . “
