Supporting Autistic Adults in Everyday Life: Transition, Skills & Community with Sandra Worth

What happens when the school supports disappear after graduation? For many autistic adults, the transition to adulthood brings new challenges — independence, employment, and identity — often without the same guidance schools once provided. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this inspiring and practical episode, Greer sits down with Sandra Worth, mom of an autistic adult and leader at My Autism Connection (MAC) in Florida. Sandra shares how her organization empowers autistic adults through skill-building programs, community partnerships, and innovative initiatives that bridge the gap between school and real life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How MAC supports autistic adults through community and connection

Real-world programs that teach driving, job, and life skills

How partnerships with law enforcement are creating safer interactions

The impact of autism ID cards and statewide officer training

What late-diagnosed adults can gain from peer support networks

Whether you’re a parent, professional, or autistic adult yourself, this episode offers hope, direction, and practical examples of what true inclusion looks like beyond the school years.
