The Asd Company

What The Asd Company does

The ASD Company is a privately held Delaware C-Corporation headquartered at 9000 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, that develops and operates autism-centric housing communities bundled with integrated support services for adults on the autism spectrum and their families. Its core offering is purpose-built apartment housing combined with on-site and remote programming: soft skills training, vocational training (including AI, coding, and cybersecurity courses), career counseling, financial literacy training, and one-on-one neurodiverse-specialized life coaching. The product is sold direct-to-consumer via a website waitlist, with a minimum 1-year lease and tenant screening that includes credit, background, financials, and diagnosis documentation.

The company's physical product is anchored by a single operational community in North Hollywood, Los Angeles — a brand-new 14-unit, 30-bedroom, 30-bathroom apartment complex featuring smart-home technology, a computer lab, a resident manager's office, and rooftop decks. Residents interact with the property through a proprietary community mobile app that handles rent payment, maintenance requests, security features, and a community event board. Marketing is concentrated on the company website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), email communications, and referrals from autism organizations and service partners in the neurodiversity community.

The business model has two revenue streams: recurring monthly housing rent (subscription-style, on 1-year minimum leases across 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom suites) and professional services revenue from bundled support programming. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires a direct request for a pricing and amenity sheet. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional funding, is actively recruiting remote counselors and freelance resource-builders, and has publicly stated a goal of expanding nationwide to house more than 10,000 autistic adults within five years — a plan that would require substantial capital, real-estate acquisition, and operating scale-up well beyond the current single-property footprint.
