About the Quest Foundation: Autism is a lifelong disability, many adults continue to require support throughout adulthood. Adults with autism require teaching to develop more independent life skills, self-help, socialization, and vocational development. They may also face new obstacles such as employment and residential service along with possible behavioral challenges post adolescence. When students turn 21, services are vastly different than those available during school. Many adults with autism continue to be completely or partially dependent on parents or caregivers. The Quest Foundation helps autistic adults in the areas of estate planning, guardianship, funding, housing and day services, employment options, social opportunities, as well as behavioral intervention
