Talking about financial realities or the challenges faced by families living with autistic children or the challenges and dangers that many of those children faced does not deny their humanity. It simply denies the rose colored glasses perspective of autism offered up by some.<BR/><BR/>The realities included the costs of institutional and residential care for some with autism. As a parent I feel obligated to help my son now to the best of my ability. It does not help the humanity of severely autistic children like my son if parents ignore those realities until it is too late to help their children.<BR/><BR/>That is how I feel about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838571980003579163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-1775434026500973142007-05-14T07:24:00.000-03:002007-05-14T07:24:00.000-03:00I don't know how you feel when hearing how much au...I don't know how you feel when hearing how much autism costs to the budget, but I don't feel well. It seems to me that autistic people are regarded as a burden to the society, rather as human beings like everybody else. After all, the budget exists so that those who can produce fill it and those who can't, for the moment or for their entire lives, are supported by it. It is what civilization is about.Maya Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877457709995369246noreply@blogger.com
