Autism x 2: Transitioning into Adulthood
A few years ago, I wrote a post about the experience of raising my two children with autism. I first wrote this piece from the point of view when my son and daughter were quite young. Recently, someone from China contacted me to ask if she could translate the post because it would encourage families and give them hope for the future.
My children have been out of school for almost two years now and are well into adulthood. Marc is about to turn 22 and Julia will be 20 next month. I’d like to share where we are now because when your children are younger, it’s hard to imagine what the future will be like for them. You feel like things will never change or improve or and you can’t see the results of all your efforts.
