Autism Helpline: Autism Support, employment and equality

Autism (ASD) is a bio-neurological disorder that typically becomes evident before age three. No two individuals with autism are alike. Caring for a child, parent, or loved one with autism can be difficult, but you are not alone. Fortunately, many different autism caregiver support systems are readily available across the country.

Some children with ASD may experience fewer or more significant side effects and symptoms. Unfortunate behaviors with communication and reoccurring habits and regimens that come with ASD can make life difficult for the entire family. The parents of a child with ASD must make sure that they have a reliable support system that helps their child manage the challenges that come with the disorder. Support will help you learn how to manage your mental awareness when figuring out the best way to care for and raise your child with ASD.

Whether you want to share your own experiences about managing ASD or discuss challenges with employment and discrimination that others have experienced, Caregiving Network helpline will enable you to connect with actual people who share the same everyday experiences.
