"We aren't a TV show and there are no actors. This is our struggle, our journey...and it's all true."

(Poll) What do you personally struggle with as an Autism parent?

Stress
Watching my kids struggle
Sleep
My biggest struggle is access to local autism resources and programs... They are IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!
Sanity
Personal Relationships
Finances
Work
Insurance
Understanding what causes my child's behaviour- as sometimes it's autism sometimes it's not . And the processing delay there's bad behavior but the cause is unraveled so much later
Our oldest son is 34. My wife and I have gone through all the above selections but at our present stage in life, have learned to somehow deal with having an autistic child. We are in our 60's and it hasn't been easy. Mainly painful, frustrating and also rewarding in a way other people could not understand. But from Stress to Insurance, we have endured them all. Biggest thing now is what happens to our son after we are gone. Our one saving grace is that our younger, non autistic son, is close to graduating from medical school and will watch his older brother. But he will also be extremely busy with his profession and wont be able to devote 24/7 of his time like we do. But still its a comfort but then again, what if his brother wasn't there and he was, what would happen. Having an autistic child makes for a lot of present and future thinking stress.
