Tackling Autism’s Challenges Together

Unique challenges in this space often hinder progress. Multiple is working to close the gap between ideas and impact to address the pressing needs of the autism community.

A Challenge of Magnitude & Complexity

In the United States, over 5.4 million adults and 1.4 million children live with autism—a condition that is frequently accompanied by comorbidities like epilepsy, ADHD, self harm, anxiety, and fine motor and sensory challenges. The existing interventions for people with autism are not powerful enough to provoke change at such a large and complex scale.

Barriers to Equitable Opportunities

Individuals with autism and their families experience a wide range of challenges related to education, healthcare, and human services.

Many individuals lack access to diagnosis, treatment, and support. These barriers often lead to low-income or unemployment, even for those who have earned a high school or college degree. Others struggle to communicate verbally, navigate comorbidities, or live independently

A Fragmented Community

The early-stage autism innovation community is disconnected, disorganized, and disenfranchised.

Just as there are countless expressions of autism, there are an endless number of ways to treat it. The lack of clarity surrounding best practices is often at the source of the community’s divide. Behavioral therapists, who identify positive and negative behaviors, often compete with developmental therapists, who work to improve and enhance the abilities of their patients. When it comes to technology, many providers and payors are skeptical due to limited information and access.
