Voting Toolkit

In this Voting Toolkit, we’ll be focusing on voting as well as discussing some of the needs in the autism community. 

Each individual is in a different place and can benefit from learning about ideas and ways to support or seek support. 

For some, voting may not be of interest, others may find it overwhelming – this is where learning about voting, making informed decisions, and practicing self-advocacy in the meantime can contribute to getting comfortable and getting to the polls. 

Voting is a skill that can be taught at any point, and it’s never too early to talk about this responsibility as a citizen.

The Lifespan Toolbox is a collection of toolkits for everyone in the autism community from self-advocates, family members, professionals, and other members of the community to get on the same page about autism and lifespan.

We span topics all over the lifespan, specifically thinking about the adulthood years (the longest span of our lives!) and how we can all work together to support the autistic person/people in our lives and community. 

Research and reported experiences from autistic individuals show a need to receive individualized support regarding life skills and to be connected with others. That’s where the Lifespan Toolbox comes in!
