Autism does not end with childhood, it is lifelong. Most publicly funded services end for autistics when they reach the age of 18. With over 5.4 million autistic adults in the U.S. it’s time we have a platform to discuss this topic of adult autism.
Thanks to their generous sponsorship The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation for Adult Autism Breakthrough Summit will be held on April 18, 2023. A diverse array of panelists will provide insights in areas including but not limited to employment, housing, postsecondary and support systems including guardianship.
This event spearhead by Dr. Kerry Magro a 35-year-old internationally known speaker on the autism spectrum who has spoken at over 1150 events worldwide in the past 12 years. Kerry hopes to bring in a personal perspective to highlight the significance of this topic.

Presented by Oregon ABLE Savings Plan
ABLE 101 Monthly Webinar

Tuesday, April 18, 2023
6:00 PM 7:00 PM

Is spend down a frequent problem for you? Are you worried that if you work too much and save too much, you’ll put your benefits in jeopardy? Wish you could build a nest egg for your kid who has a disability?
The Oregon ABLE Savings Plan can help. ABLE lets people with disabilities and their families save money without getting disqualified from their state and federal benefits. Money saved in an ABLE account doesn’t count against the asset limit for benefits like SSI, Oregon Health Plan, SNAP, Section 8 and more. Plus there are tax advantages!
To qualify for ABLE, you have to meet two criteria: your disability is severe enough to qualify you for SSI/SSDI (but you don’t need to be currently receiving either) AND your disability started before the age of 26. Qualifying disabilities can include both I/DD, physical disabilities and mental health conditions.
Learn everything there is to know about the Oregon ABLE Savings Plan including who is eligible, how it works, what you can save for and more.
