8 topics about autism the media is not covering

Posted by Focus Initiative on March 18, 2010 at 2:50 PM

A great article just released in the huffington post expands on the most important topics that the media is NOT covering.

1. Autism is unaffordable.

2. Parental guilt.

3. Puberty plus autism can be a volatile mix.

4. Minority children are diagnosed with autism years later than other children.

5. Autism can be tough on a marriage (MAJOR understatement!!!!)

6. Autism's effects on siblings.

7. Adults with autism (80% still live at home with parents!!)

8. Autism advocates who actually have autism (they DO exist!!)

Did it mention the impact of autism on one's career or is that covered in #1--autism is unaffordable? Puberty plus autism--talk about 2 steps backward to get 1 step forward. I was just charting her Stanford math scores (doesn't everyone do that on Spring Break?)--math trend direct correlation to "puberty curve." Thank God I can see the light at the other side of the tunnel and it is not a train.
