Advocacy
We use Autarian lived experience to advocate for Neurodivergent and Neurocultural interests in the County.
Our Advocacy Work Includes:
- Direct Support: We send advocates into situations where we are needed—struggling families, Autistic adults, NC/ND families. We will be here for you.
- Community Representation: Speaking on behalf of the Neurocultural community in government meetings, public forums, and community organizations.
- Alternative Solutions: In cases where government resources are not available, SADC will design our own alternatives to serve our community.
- Policy Development: Working with local governments and institutions to create policies that support Neurocultural individuals.
- Education & Awareness: Raising awareness about Neuroculturalism and the needs of the Autarian community.
Need an advocate? If you or your family need support navigating services, dealing with institutions, or accessing resources, SADC can provide advocacy assistance.
Community Development
We are interested in building Autarian Quarters in parts of our Downtowns and villages throughout Simcoe County.
Planned Locations:
Downtown Areas
- Barrie
- Orillia
- Collingwood

Villages & Communities
- Certain parts of the County that we've come to love
- Areas with strong community connections
- Locations near services and amenities
Our Vision for Autarian Quarters
We will include not just Autarians in the communities, but existing tenants and everyone in these neighbourhoods we wish to live in and love, play and thrive in. We do not exist as an isolated monolith—the choice to live in these places is an important choice we've made to be inclusive and visible, and gain acceptance.
Property Owners & Landlords
We welcome interest from people not just wanting to live in Autarian Quarters, but also 100% welcome interest from landlords and property managers who wish to sell or donate properties to us.
If you own property in our target areas and are interested in supporting the Neurocultural community, please contact SADC.
