Living with autism in New Haven
New Haven is defined by Yale University, a lively arts scene, and a compact, walkable downtown, all served by CT Transit buses and Metro-North rail. Its manageable scale suits many autistic adults, and coaching often builds the routines and confidence that make getting around and taking part in city life easier.
The city is also home to Chapel Haven Schleifer Center, a nationally recognized program for autistic adults, which reflects a broader culture of support in the area. Coaching complements that landscape with one-on-one work on executive functioning, daily routines, workplace strategies, and social skills.
