Autism Society of California 2018 Survey

In 2018, over 1200 individuals responded to the Autism Society of California survey on quality of life, service systems and barriers.

Every other year, the Autism Society of California surveys members of the California Intellectual and Developmental disability community. In 2018, over 1200 individuals responded to a variety of questions regarding quality of life, service systems and barriers.

Our hope is this data serves as a call to action for public policies at the local, state, and federal levels to ensure that individuals with intellectual and developmental disorders and their families have access to appropriate services and resources.
