Does anyone know of a Christian group home for adults with mild autism??

[Lioness901]

Hey. I'm looking for a Christian group home for adults with mild autism perferably in California. Anyone know of any at all?? I tried to google this but I didn't get very far. Can anyone out there please help me with this??

Hi Lioness901,
I googled California government agencies, and found this. I don't know if it would help. Maybe try searching through gov't sites? Good luck to you! I don't know if these agencies would have any info. I don't live in CA so I don't know any personally.

Agency Directory

In that little search box on the site, put "autism" in it, and a couple agencies come up.

I have never heard of that type of group home. If you find one post back a little about it.

Is it so severe they need a group home, or would a caregiver roommate work?

Without me, my husband would have needed some features of a group home but he was far too intelligent to be locked in one. His family tried to put him in one. By "mild autism" do you mean High Functioning or are they somewhere between low and high functioning?

I am looking for the same here in Colorado but have had no success. I thought about starting a Meetup group but is expensive considering it may not work out.

Hi TalusJumper,
I searched the government website for Colorado, would this help? Have you tried looking through the gov't sites?

Thanks for checking into this for me. However, in keeping with the OPs original message- I would like to find a Christian-based Aspie/ASD group to meet with. There is a GRASP meeting in Denver once a month but that is actually quite a distance from me and is not Christian. It would be nice to talk face-to-face with others on the spectrum about the same things we discuss here on the forums.

You might consider this. "FAST"
Given they offer training and support, you may want to contact them to see if they have trained and know of any Christian assisted living facilities in California.

And their directory lists one foundation in California, though it does not specify if it is Christian: California Autism Foundation


God Bless

Okay! I didn't know if there would be a Christian group mixed in there or if they'd have a number to call to check it out. Sorry.

I have not looked at them all, but maybe this would be helpful? Click on your state and they give different agencies. They have them broken down city by city. I didn't get a chance to check if any of them are Christian, sorry about that. It's from the Autism Speaks FB page:
