What would a life free from poverty enable you to do?

These answers demonstrate how lifting autistic adults out of poverty would empower them to live their best lives. They show the transformative benefit of financial security, especially for people with disabilities in BC, and the integrity of our interviewees, who truly just want to be as happy and healthy as they can be. With limited means comes limited success.
At AutismBC, we are committed to advocating for greater support and resources for autistic people, recognizing their inherent dignity and right to thrive. If you resonate with these quotes and wish to share your own perspective, feel free to reach out directly or in the comments below.
