A system that only speaks to caregivers can erase autistic adults. A system that only speaks to individuals may leave families without guidance. ANCHOR needs both doors without confusing the roles.
Autistic adults need direct language about autonomy, communication preferences, consent, employment, healthcare, housing, transportation, and crisis prevention. Caregivers may need preparation tools, school meeting support, appointment packets, and scripts for reducing pressure.
The site should let each reader find their lane while still respecting the same principle: support before crisis, needs before judgment, access before overwhelm.
