Ways for Family Members to Support the Safety of Autistic People.Click on the title of any section to download it as a screenreader-accessible PDF. The Autism & Safety Toolkit comes in three sections. The toolkit describes safety risks we face, discusses different ways to address them, and debunks myths about safety that are sometimes used to curtail our independence and access to the community. But in reality, we are safest when we are included in our communities and empowered to take control of our own lives. Many people think that people with developmental disabilities must give up our autonomy, or be separated from the broader community, in order to be safe. That’s why ASAN is proud to announce the release of our Autism & Safety Toolkit – the first toolkit made by autistic self-advocates, focusing on safety issues that affect us and the tools to deal with them. Too often, autistic voices have been erased from conversations about autism and safety. We also face significant threats to our safety, including higher rates of abuse, institutionalization, suicide, and police violence. Autistic people have the right to be safe and live independently in our communities.
