Living with autism in Rochester
Rochester combines a low cost of living with a strong base of colleges, healthcare, and technology employers, which makes it a realistic place to build an independent adult life. The RTS bus system covers the city and inner suburbs, and coaching often includes developing the planning and problem-solving skills that make public transit workable day to day.
The region is also notable for the Rochester Institute of Technology's Spectrum Support Program, one of the first college programs of its kind in the country, and for a culture of neurodiverse hiring that has grown around it. For autistic adults heading toward college, co-op placements, or first jobs, coaching helps translate those opportunities into concrete routines and skills.
