[quote=Anonymous]Hi. We are going to a financial planner soon and I wondered whether to factor in having a young child with ASD, with low support needs. Specifically, I am wondering about whether our child will be able to maintain employment in adulthood. It is quite difficult to get our child to do non-preferred activities or anything that’s hard or requires effort. While I know adulthood is a long way off, from the statistics I’ve read about employment rates for “high functioning” folks with ASD, and the frequency with which this population is underemployed and unemployed, I am concerned and thinking we should do some contingency planning, if possible. Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you. [/quote]
