A Parent’s View of More Able People with Autism

  • Chapter
High-Functioning Individuals with Autism

Part of the book series: Current Issues in Autism ((CIAM))

Abstract

I want you to try to see through my eyes for just a little while, so that I can help you understand the experience of parenting a more able autistic child. I will attempt to describe some of the feelings and situations that my husband, Marco, and I experienced both separately and together during the last 17 years, and to delineate some of the basic issues that are part and parcel of raising a more able person with autism. I will try to combine these experiences with those communicated to me by other parents around the country.
