My name is Amalia Starr and I created Autism Independence Project because of my thirty-eight year old autistic son, Brandon. He has accomplished his dream of independence and has been living alone for the past fourteen years.  I do not want to give you the false impression that all is great in Brandon’s life and his transition to independence has been easy, because it has not been that way.  He has had hurdles to get over almost everyday, but he does get over them, and that is all that matters.

I am devoted and dedicated to assist parents in helping their children and adults with autism reach their full potential through various types of media and through my firsthand experiences with Brandon.
