Our mission is to provide realistic and essential supports to adults with autism that reflect their desired conditions of living related to eight core dimensions to one’s life:
•Emotional well-being
•Interpersonal relationships
•Material well-being
•Personal development
•Physical well-being
•Self-determination
•Social inclusion
•Individual rights
Our purpose at Rimland is fundamentally to see the world through the eyes of an individual with autism and to use this perspective to support them in our culture as independently as possible. While we cannot cure the underlying cognitive deficits of autism by understanding and accepting them, we can design services that are effective in meeting the challenges of this unique population.
