While autism is a lifelong condition, it does not mean that children with autism will necessarily live with their parents forever. With appropriate support and early intervention, many individuals with autism develop the skills needed to live independently or with minimal assistance as they grow older.
Some individuals with autism may require long-term care, particularly if they have intellectual disabilities or severe challenges with communication and social interaction. However, many individuals with autism lead fulfilling lives and become independent adults with the help of therapies like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

ABA therapy focuses on developing independent living skills, including managing personal care, making decisions, and interacting with others. Over time, these skills can help individuals with autism transition to living on their own, attending school, or pursuing careers.
At Connect N Care ABA, we offer personalized ABA therapy in North Carolina and Virginia for children and young adults, helping them build essential skills for independence and success in adulthood.
