emilyparker+FollowWorries About My Autistic Son’s Future CareI’m deeply worried about who will take care of my autistic son after we’re no longer around. We’ve considered having another child to help look after him, but it doesn’t seem fair to burden a new life with such a huge responsibility right from the start. How do other families in similar situations handle this? Have you found ways to ensure your autistic child’s future care without making another child feel obligated? Looking for insights and shared experiences. #Autism #FamilyConcerns #FutureCare #ParentingChallenges #SiblingResponsibility41Share
