When my son was diagnosed as autistic, the school and support systems around him immediately discounted his abilities and set an incredibly low bar for his achievement. We were told to start looking at group homes when he was in 5th grade! But I saw so much more potential in our son – so I advocated for him. I held our school accountable and ensured he received personalized education based on his unique learning needs. Today, my autistic son drives, lives independently, and has a meaningful job. None of that would have happened if I had just listened to the experts! But it wasn’t an easy path to get here – it required a lot of energy, networking, and advocating.
