This is the question that seems to unite all parents of children on the spectrum. Despite all the animosity and arguing about the causes of Autism, and the correct treatment path, one unifying concern is who will care for our kids when we no longer can? I imagine the parents of the man in the story below shared this worry. They needn't have. He turned out great . Autisms First Child is now in his 70's. You can read how his life unfolded. And I hope gain some comfort.,

ReplyDeleteHis parents must have been very loving and dedicated to go against the advice of the day. What a shame we can't know what things they did at home with him to assist in his development.
