The Fight for Inclusion in a World of Exclusion Severe Autism
Manage episode 505560687 series 3362345
Moving to Illinois with our severely autistic son brought unexpected challenges, including his increasingly violent behavior and our struggle to find appropriate medical and community support. Rejection has become an abnormally normal occurrence, but this is where it started.
• Our son developed concerning rage behaviors in public
• Housing search
• Parent support group silence
• Theatre program
• Despite rejections, our son continues to show creativity and new skills
• We're exploring disc golf as a new family activity
• Looking for positive recreational activities remains an ongoing challenge
