ASAP: Autistic Self-Advocacy Project – A listing of autistic and neurodivergent-friendly local businesses, services, and resources. This one is local to Wilderwood, but we invite you to take a look and see if this is something you’d like to create in your own area. If so, we have resources to help! This is a link to a How-To video, and there is also a free ASAP Notebook you can request by emailing Wilderwood. Both the video and ASAP Notebook were grant-funded, so there is no cost to access any of the information about how to start an ASAP in your area!

Autism Card (available via Etsy) – There are multiple sites that have similar cards. We list this one because the material it’s made from is durable and it is fully customizable.
