[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a high functioning autistic/adhd child who is now 10 but was diagnosed of having autism around age 2. Here’s what I have learned: 
1. It’s a marathon and not a sprint 
2. Don’t give up the dreams that you have for your child, that means prioritizing his/her  and your family’s overall well being. 
3. List them for Medicaid waiver. You may be on the list forever but in case something happens it may be an option. 
4. If possible, both parents should continue to work full time and save for retirement 
5. Sign up for able account for your child 
6. For therapies, there is a lot out there but some of it is just not evidence based. So, knowing what your child needs is the best way to tease out what the specific needs are. If you got a neuropsych, ask the provider what the priorities are to focus on 1 year from now, 3 years from now and 5 years. This will help you get clarity. 
7. If you are not in healthcare, use reputable online resources to gather information, this will help to again tease out what may help or not. 
8. Have faith and good luck :)

This is such good advice. Can someone with ASD1 get that waver? How helpful is it?[/quote]
