The TowsonUniversityCenter
for Adults with Autism was
established in February 2008 with a generous donation
from
Therese and Douglas Erdman, in order to “empower
young adults who have ASD to keep learning and to live
life to their fullest.”
Young adults transitioning from school-based services
are faced with a number of challenges, including less
structured environments and fewer opportunities for
socialization outside of family life.
Professionals and researchers who focus on this group
are limited in number, and there are few resources
available to support these young adults as they make
this transition. The
Center for Adults with Autism
is focused on
becoming an effective, integrated, interdisciplinary
resource center that supports education for
professionals, and links academic and community
resources for young adults with ASD and their families.
