I’ll make a poll for this later when I’m on my laptop. However the question I put to you is this. Should there exist local organisations in the major cities patterned like student unions but with the specific aim of serving autistic adults.

notes:
I think acquiring buildings like that takes a lot of funding. What you need to do is start small groups in places like church halls or other cheap facilities, which you can build up and each member makes contributions to cover costs.
Things like this grow organically. It all starts with one person with a vision but it takes time and effort. If it's something that you want and believe in, then maybe you could be the one to take the first steps to get it going.
I’m not sure I can think of any examples of groups that subsidise the use of a venue but don’t themselves own or Lease a venue. If a core part of your charitable model is going to be providing space at a subsidy or for free I doubt there is a cost-effective way to do it that doesn’t involve having a venue.
if you think about other organisations that offer a similar service, student unions, working men’s clubs, some old private members clubs, they all tend to own / lease their own property.
