Do you believe the actual occurrence of Autism is increasing or has the definition widened to include more people? Other factors could be increased awareness driving more diagnosis of individual. I guess I find it hard to accept the base incidence of the disorder is increasing.Mitchell Ciprianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528916624319044904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218081790878568840.post-67605987875015433912012-03-29T14:27:18.120-07:002012-03-29T14:27:18.120-07:00Jennifer, your post was so very thoughtful and ver...Jennifer, your post was so very thoughtful and very accurate. We as parents are under enormous stress and worry and as such must take care to guard our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. No one can do that for us and we must remind ourselves that just like they do in the pre-flight instructions on an airplane, that we need to put our life masks on first. We have to be healthy so that our children receive the best we have to offer, even under stressful situations. I like you, don't pretend to know what was going though that mother's mind or heart, but the loss of two precious people is so terribly sad. We are grateful everyday to the wonderful staff at Morgan Center that care for our son at school and after and that have made themselves available to us for respite on their off time. We will pray for this to never happen again and offer out to anyone at Morgan Center and throughout the autism community that there are parents who know and understand you and would love to talk or meet you in person if you have a need.

Eden, in Princeton, has offered services to geriatric ASDs for - 20 years or so? Againg isn't on ANYONE's radar. Think about the physical layout/ design of most IRA's - they will not allow aging-in-place. Then think about a transition to another facility - most likely to occur without supporting persons' (read: parents") input. THEN think about how hard we've worked for de-institutionalize people with disabilities.

Too little consideration is given to the inevitable - we parents don't live forever. There are many, many things that should be done - for example, over-emphasis on compliance puts people at risk for abuse. Learning to make choices should be part of every planning... etc. Your story portrays a parent and child who seemingly had no coherent preperation for this transition... which is cruel, and unrealistic. I am a parent. My son is in a group home. This can be done badly, or mindfully - I've experienced both. The system, as it stands, needs overall change - not just for our people with ASD, but for those with developmental disabilities in general - people are living longer; parents are mortal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218081790878568840.post-83391407459798898232011-11-23T01:59:46.965-08:002011-11-23T01:59:46.965-08:00Great Blog.

I cannot imagine a tougher job than being the parent of a child with autism; and I am constantly amazed at how well so many do in the face of such adversity.
