Yes, many autistic people can care for themselves, though the level of independence varies from person to person. Autism is a spectrum, meaning abilities and support needs are different for each individual. Some may live fully independently, while others may need ongoing assistance with certain daily tasks.
Self-care skills like cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, and managing schedules can be learned and strengthened over time. The key is breaking tasks into manageable steps, providing clear instructions, and practicing consistently.
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy can play a big role in developing these life skills. Through structured, personalized teaching, autistic individuals can build the confidence and ability to handle more responsibilities on their own.
At Kids N Heart ABA, we focus on empowering individuals to be as independent as possible, teaching practical self-care skills in a supportive and respectful way.
