Mission
Independence Through Interdependence formerly known as Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network or ASR provides education assistance community building research and advocacy for autistic people and their loved ones. 2024 initiatives included launching a partially-owned for-profit social enterprise completing Phase 1 of the Mobility Autonomy Program suicide prevention activities through the Positive Outcomes Project and an ongoing advocacy campaign to flip the power dynamic in autism research and funding to prioritize autistic perspectives.
Program accomplishments
- Established ITI Assistive Technologies Inc. subsequently renamed ITI Lab in 2025 a partially-owned for-profit social enterprise developing assistive technology for neurodivergent adults. This initiative supports ASR ITIs mission to provide free direct services to autistic adults. During this tax year ASR ITI received $7,500 from GiveBackHack Columbus to support this venture. Through a resource sharing agreement with ITI Assistive Technologies Inc ASR created 3 neuroinclusive full-time positions with health insurance benefits. These positions were leased to ITI Assistive Technologies Inc for $237746.36 during its tax exempt purpose-aligned research grant from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities to develop AI-powered supports for autistic and ADHD adults. This strategic partnership advances ASR ITIs sustainable service model while directly creating employment opportunities for the population we serve and allowing us to advance nonprofit activities at an accelerated rate.Expenses $243,675 · revenue $245,756
- Completed Phase 1 of the Mobility Autonomy Program MAP which addresses transportation access and communication challenges for autistic adults. During this tax year we conducted 20 expert interviews and collected 100 survey responses from autistic adults regarding their mobility and communication support needs. This research established the foundation for future phases and helped identify critical barriers to independence. The program was supported by grants from the Holy Trinity Endowment Committee $1,500 Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council $5,000 and The Columbus Foundation $15,000. Findings from Phase 1 will inform the development of practical solutions in Phases 2-4 with a comprehensive implementation plan now established to improve transportation access and autonomy for our community.Expenses $27,067 · revenue $21,500
- Launched the Positive Outcomes Project POP focused on increasing evidence-based measures of positive wellbeing for autistic adults. During this tax year we established a formal relationship with the Autism and Suicide Prevention Working Group to address critical mental health concerns in the autistic community. We developed and submitted grant proposals to fund a national meeting dedicated to autism and suicide prevention strategies. Additionally we received a $2,500 grant from Insperity to sponsor a sensory-supportive event in Washington D.C. providing autistic adults with accommodations and resources to promote wellbeing in public settings. These foundational efforts will advance our mission to improve quality of life metrics and create measurable positive outcomes for autistic adults.Expenses $5,000 · revenue $2,500
