Hello,
I'm inquiring about self-advocacy as it concerns adults with Aspergers. From my own experience, I've been able to self-advocate on many of the small concerns that appear from "time to time."
Yet, my concern, (as is similar to neurotypicals (NTs)) are the larger (usually rare) concerns that necessitates the involvement of a trusted professional advisor. Hence, the limits of self-advocating.
Do agencies like ASAN (Autistic Self Advocacy Network) step in to provide/recommend professional advisors in those situations when self-advocacy is not possible?
Are many professional advisors affordable (also offering services priced on a sliding-scale)?
ADDENDUM: If located in California esp. in or near the SF-Bay CA Region:
What roles would CA-State Regional Centers play in sending clientele to trusted advisors regarding those situations where self-advocacy is not practical? CA Regional Centers must become experienced with clientele who only need occasional supports for independent-living agendas; such as clientele with (HFA) High-Functioning Autism.
I'm in proximity to the SF Bay Area; what are specific examples of advisor services in the SF Bay Area experienced with Aspergers?
Thank-you
