Is there really such a thing as autism independence?

Many parents wonder what the future will hold for their child with autism. Will my child ever be able to drive a car, or live on his own, or be able to hold down a job?

It used to be that parent’s expectations were set very low for these possibilities - with the future looking bleak at best. In last week’s episode of The Mother Cub Show, I did my best to turn that notion upside down as I chatted with autism expert, Brian R. King, about the most important areas you can focus on right now in order to help your child grow into having an independent future.

The second half of the show featured Ann Millan, author of Autism: Believe In The Future. Ann is the mother of three children. The third has autism….and is now happily living her life as an independent adult.
