A Full Life with Autism



Wondering what will happen to your children on the spectrum when they reach adulthood? A Full Life with Autism is a guide for helping them lead meaningful and independent lives as they reach adulthood. In the next five years, hundreds of thousands of children with ASD will reach adulthood, and while diagnosis and treatment for children has improved in recent years, parents still wonder about their ability to live independently.

Autism expert Chantal Sicile-Kira and her son Jeremy offer real solutions to a host of difficult questions, including how young adults of different abilities and their parents can:
    *navigate this new economy where adult service resources are scarce
    *cope with the difficulties of living apart from the nuclear family
    *find, and keep a job that provides meaning, stability and an income
    *create and sustain fulfilling relationships
