Finding Real Respite Care for Autism: What We Learned Building J13
Update: 2025-09-04
Description
Respite care often fails adults with profound autism or multiple IDDs, who need 1:1 support, medical readiness, and structure. At J13 Community in Austin, respite looks different: no one is expelled for behavior, belonging is guaranteed, and programs build on each person’s strengths with dignity and safety. Starting with day programs—climbing gyms, parks, equine therapy—participants gradually transition to overnight stays. Success relies on skilled staff, safe homes, reliable transportation, and parent partnership. The result: adults who are engaged and thriving, and parents who can finally breathe with peace of mind.
