Former desparate mom
There is a documentary being done about the program for adults on the spectrum. This is a 3 min. snippet that I wanted to share.
Those of you who know me from the past know I am always looking for ways to help my son find the life he wants.
I'm not advocating for the program(waiting list only) but wanting to introduce other parents to possibilities for their adult children on the spectrum. It was 2 fathers who looked at their son's and wondered what happens after h.s. It's been a real worry for me and hopefully seeing what can be achieved will inspire parents of adult kids on the spectrum to keep looking for opportunities to have your child live a fuller life. The lowest rung of the employment ladder is the only thing ever offered to these guys. My son is living a better life. Not employed yet but much closer to a career than ever. He is actually working with the grip for this documentary for the next 2 weeks. The statistics for our kids are abysmal and we have to find ways to improve the quality of their adult lives. Turn the statistics around.
