Resources directory

A directory of other resources of interest

When we began envisioning what would become Infinitus Ministries back in 2019, resources and support for autistic adults were still scarce, and the popular awareness of neurodiversity was still relatively not as widespread as it is today. Today, there are a lot more, at least in the English-speaking world.

We provide this list of curated resources for your convenience. We have no affiliation with them, and we have no control over what they do, however.

This directory is growing, so come back often.

Important (please read): This directory is not a free advertising space for businesses. We list resources here because we (or people we are in contact with) have either had personal experiences with them or have evaluated them. As a matter of ethics, we do not accept solicitations from businesses for inclusion in this directory. If you are or were a customer or client of specific organizations, services, or other resources, and have had positive experiences with them personally, we welcome your input (for nonprofit and community organizations: members and volunteers are welcome to give us recommendations, but if you are a board member, executive director, or a managing/exempt employee, please refrain from recommending your own organization). We may further verify their bona fides through online review sites such as Yelp, Google Local, and TrustPilot; and for licensed professions, we also check public records. Nevertheless, your mileage may vary, and you are solely responsible for your use of information here.
