The Continuity Framework: A Preventive System Architecture for Autism and Intellectual Disability

The Continuity Framework advances a preventive systems architecture for autism and intellectual disability service systems. It introduces a structual distinction between Cumulative Continuity Load (CCL) and Crumulative Regulatory Load (CRL) and conceptualizes Continuity buffer Architectures as a cross-domain stabilization mechanism operating across regulatory, relational, environmental, governance, and lifespan domains. Rather than treating crisis as event-driven or behaviorally rooted, the model defines destabilization as a threshold condition emerging when cumilative exceeds available stabilization capacity. A formal structual expression of developmental accessibility is proposed, alongside the Continuity Load Assesment Tool (CLAT), a conceptual instrument intended for pilot implementation and longitudinal validation. Positioned as an open conceptual archiecture, the model advances a bounded and falsifiable structual proposition and invites interdisciplinary empirical testing across service, housing, and governance systems.
