My son went from very low functioning as a kid to a high functioing autistic adult. In fact, unless he tells people, they don't know he is any different than any other 21 yr old. He works in food service, but wants to go into HVAC and the school is expensive. Does anyone know of scholarship programs for "recovered" autistics? He is a miracle and I see great potential for the kid they told me was profoundly retarded and severely autistic in 1990. He even graduated high school with a regular diploma, passing the same difficult Nevada exams as the "normal" kids to do so!
So, don't give up on your autistic child. I was told there was no hope. Moving to a new state/new schools saved my son. Don't ever give up hope!
