My only son was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder a couple of years ago. It was a devastating news to swallow and we continue to try figuring out how to live with it and how to ensure the best possible future for him.
I am writing to seek some ideas from the readers as to what do they know as the practical and realistic expectations for a special needs children's future, and for autistic children in particular. Is anybody out there aware of vocations most suited for autistic adults ? Realistically, what can be expected in terms of independence once the children reaches adulthood ? What skills should be taught and what are the challenges which need to be overcome ?



Thank You
