re: Any special needs parents here in the OT? ADMIN NEEDED

My sister has severe autism and is very low functioning, and the way I describe it is that that child is yours for a reason. I thank God my sister grew up with great parents. Having a family member with autism is something I would never wish on someone, but I can’t imagine our family’s life without it. It’s a huge part of our lives, obviously. There are also state benefits and such you could look into for people with special needs. I’ll try and respond to questions you have and can run some by my folks.
