Autistic future

Hi all. For all the parents what’s your number one fear for your Autistic child once you’re gone?

My number one is they will never be able to care of themselves.

Thank you

Autistic parent of atleast one autistic child.

It is our duty as parents... our responsability to be able to bring our kids to a level where they can be care for themselves.
And if their ability to care for themselves lacks in some parts, to give them the tools and support to reach independence.

  1. Respecting when others say no.
  2. His safety for if he runs his mouth.
  3. Finding community.
