Head of PALS Adults Services Society believes program is first of its kind in Canada<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taryn Batchelor\u00a0says she loves having her own living space, spending time with her friends and exploring new restaurants\u00a0around her Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

“I like all my friends.\u00a0It’s nice to have them in the building,”\u00a0Batchelor\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

Batchelor, 30, who has autism, is talking about living\u00a0at\u00a0the Aspen, an apartment building on East 6th Avenue and Main Street in Vancouver.<\/p>\n

She’s able to live there because of a\u00a0partnership between Catalyst Community Developments and PALS Adult\u00a0Services Society (PASS)\u00a0Housing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":823,"template":"","tags":[14],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHousing initiative helps people on autism spectrum live independently in Vancouver -
