[quote=Anonymous]My oldest has ASD and significant disabilities (will never live independently). I highly recommend a job/career where you are not managing people or traveling a lot. My advice is not about specific careers, but just the whole career thing in general. You are going to meet a lot of people (women mainly) who quit their "careers" due to a SN child. I quit my career when he was a toddler. When he started school I went back to work part time and though it isn't a "career", I am contributing financially to the family, and enjoy my job and my co-workers. I encourage you to not think of your life as having one trajectory. You may need a stay at home parent during the younger years for childcare, doctor's appointments, therapies, etc. When they get into school, this parent may be able to work part or full time, if they want to.[/quote]
