[quote=Anonymous]You know, we've had very successful autistic people in my family. My HFA uncle works on a factory line and is near retirement and makes more money than I do as a junior associate as a law firm. He is married and has a daughter and two grandkids. It's not that he couldn't succeed. He just needed more support. He bought a house from my grandmother and lived next to her his entire life. He is a vet who served as an enlisted man in Korea. His uncle (my great uncle) was a successful mechanic and had HFA. He also had close support from family. Uncle P. also married and had kids. At the same time, I have a friend with ASD who successfully graduated college, but couldn't manage to keep a job in IT. He is currently drawing SSDI. I'm hoping for the best, but I've made sure that my DS has a clear diagnostic trail so that if he needs to go on SSDI when he is an adult he can. I'm hedging my bets.[/quote]
