    I just estimated that 15% need care. So that would leave a huge number that don’t - you are right.

    EDIT: A quick Internet search says that 82% of autistic adults want or get support, and only 16% are fully employed. 🤷

      “Want to get support” is not the same as “need 20h of a specialists time each week”

        You are right, which is why I used 15%, instead of 82%.

          But what do you base those 15% on? Might as well be 1%, or even lower. In the end its just your own intuition, based on nothing. Hell, if they were capable of answering that survey, I don’t think they’d need that much support.

            Nothing, back of the napkin math for discussion purposes based on the 2 diagnosisea and doc recommendations we’ve gotten. Totally can adjust if you have a more accurate number.
