In this Guardianship + Alternatives Toolkit, we’ll be focusing on the process of obtaining guardianship as well as discussing its alternatives.
Each family is in a different place and can benefit from learning about the options available to them.
Guardianship is one of the most restrictive legal decisions on one’s life and it is always critical to consider the autistic person’s autonomy and potential for supporting their own self-advocacy.

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!
