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.
