As parents or guardians of a young woman with autism, the time is nearing for you to do what you lovingly must - and plan for her future, as she transitions from home or school to another place and life.

But there are difficult, soul-searching questions. Where will she find the same loving care that you embraced and protected her with? Who can you trust to lead your child, as you would want, for the rest of her life? And yes, what will happen to her when you're no longer here?

For these important reasons, for your precious daughter, Mandy's Special Farm exists.

Located on the outskirts of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Mandy's Special Farm - with more than four picturesque acres for living, learning, working and playing - is a shining, new ray of hope for young women with autism who likely will never live independently, as well as those who love them.

The mission of Mandy's Special Farm is to provide highest quality, long term, 24-hour care for a maximum four women with autism. The goal is to help these women achieve their greatest self-sufficiency, within a caring, structured, positive, purposeful, encouraging home-like atmosphere. And the hope? That four young women with autism will lead a better life - and that the parents of these special children will find peace of heart and mind.
