[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 678400, member: 1550"] Autism spectrum is not an illness. My son has it. It is a neurological difference. My son is 22 and so cool and a blessing to our family. He has no mental illness but since Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a developmental delay he has younger interests yet he Lives in his own apartment, works part time and pays his own bills. He is very happy, not ill. Just wanted to add with IC that it is not an illness and that asders function anywhere from needing total support for life to working full time and choosing to get married. It has a lot to do with how severely the person is affected. Some adult help is needed more often than not and there are community resouces and ssdi if necessary. Good luck to all. [/QUOTE]
