Publisher's Synopsis
In the next five years, hundreds of thousands of children with autism spectrum disorder will reach adulthood. And while diagnosis and treatment for children has improved dramatically in recent years, parents want to know: What happens to my child when I am no longer able to care for or assist him? In this ground-breaking book, autism expert Chantal Sicile-Kira and her son Jeremy offer real solutions to a host of difficult questions, including how young adults across the autism spectrum can:
negotiate adult life in this new economy where adult service resources are scarce
cope with the difficulties of living apart from the nuclear
family
find and keep a job that provides meaning, stability
and an income
discover the joys of fulfilling relationships
