People with Autism often complain that society defines them by their condition. But inside every Autistic person are unique and valuable qualities that need to be celebrated. Autistic adults can be Active, Authentic, and Ambitious. Therefore, they need an Adaptive, Appealing, and Accessible home where they can Achieve and Accomplish their goals and Amplify their Abilities. They need Allies and Advocates to raise Awareness and promote Acceptance. We hope you can see why A-Town's logo features a big "A" with echos of many more "A's" behind it: it reminds us that it's about so much more than just Autism!
