WELCOME TO ASAP CARES
Living with autism presents many challenges that most of us never
even have to consider. Imagine how you would feel if you couldn’t tell someone
that you’re not feeling well or that you don’t like what has been presented to
you for dinner. How would you feel if your bath water was too cold, and you had
no way to tell anyone except by “acting out”? The negative behaviors then
become your way to communicate.WALK

INTRODUCING RAINBOW FARMS
ASAP purchases 5 acre farm! Rainbow Farms
will be the home for four young adults with autism who are currently living in
residential facilities outside their home community of Pender, New Hanover and
Brunswick counties. Our new serene setting will offer vocational
opportunities such as organic gardening, caring for livestock, and egg
gathering. A separate classroom setting will engage the participants in
educational and therapeutic activities to maintain a balanced and healing
environment.
It is ASAP's hope that this productive
lifestyle will boost these special individual's self esteem and help them lead
happy and healthy lives.
ASAP is in desperate need of your help.
We still need furniture, appliances, and therapeutic equipment in order to reach
our goals. Please respond to the "Donate Now" button at the bottom of the
screen and help us make this monumental improvement to the lives of some of our
most vulnerable neighbors. ASAP TRULY CARES...
 It is essential to give individuals a safe environment where they
can learn to communicate their wants and needs and maximize their own individual
potential. To watch someone learn to effectively communicate their needs and
desires and engage in activities that promote enviable lives, and most
importantly to see someone emerge from the holds of autism is an exciting and
most fulfilling adventure.
Welcome to ASAP...
