• + Attention Adults with ASD - Are you interested in joining an email list to discuss the concept of a 'Secure Autism Friendly Environment' (S.A.F.E.) and issues related to living as an adult on the Autism Spectrum? This idea for this list and the S.A.F.E. project were created by a local woman with Autism who would like to use email as a format for discussion regarding these ideas and issues. If you are interested or know someone who may be, please send an email to John Polefko at jpole@ufl.edu to join the list or if you have any questions.
