  • Access: It’s just a bout of Chronic Sorrow,

    Thank you Hilary for posting what a lot of us think and also go through, Sorry you are having to go through this.
    Those out there touting - put the person with the disability out in the Community - is all well and good if they can cope and the community accept them, I spent the Anzac weekend rescuing some one with ASD who is trying to go through University but is not supported well enough to allow for this to happen. Its just not working from both sides. Government need to review there options.

  • Hard News: Autism and celebrity, in reply to graeme muir,

    It should not go unnoticed that Jed's parents are very comfortably well off and such costs would not be prohibitive. Being a family that have done ABA privately for 10 years it does have its positive points as I don't believe my son would have got the same intensive learning at school as he got at home doing ABA 1:1. He was more severe than Sienna and I think here is the answer to what development going forward these kids project. - it is really reliant on how severe the Intellectual Disability part of the diagnosis is.
