o    We are working on a project to empower adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder to move out of their family home and live as independently as possible, while remaining connected to the larger community. Currently, more than 3 million individuals in the US are living with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and around 500,000 of these individuals will be entering adulthood over the next ten years. Autism Speaks is inviting people from around the world, from any background to submit innovative, breakthrough ideas in the following three home and residential support solutions: • For individuals who require 24/7 support • For individuals who require daily support • For individuals who require weekly support The best solution in each of these categories will receive a $50,000 USD prize. The total prize purse is $150,000 USD. You may visit the Autism Speaks House to Home Prize challenge page (http://bit.ly/1MtgVo1) to find out more and to register as an innovator. No entry fee is required. Last date for registration is March 1, 2016. Please let me know if you would like to participate or know anyone else who might be interested in participating. Thanks Henna.
