Having a child or a loved one with autism, Asperger’s Syndrome or another difficulty such as ADHD, ADD, OCD and Tourettes is likely the biggest challenge you will face in your life. Since your family member was diagnosed, your main focus has probably been on his or her care and treatment. And, like all parents, you want the best for your child. You want them to live a full and happy life. And you want them to be contributing members of society.

But parents and loved ones of people with autism often worry if their family member will ever gain meaningful employment as an adult, and therefore gain some semblance of independence and financial security. And you probably worry about a future where your family member will always be dependent on you to varying degrees.

Specialist People Foundation can help you gain a positive outlook on the future for you and your family. By supporting our foundation, you can:

• Help your son, daughter or family member to identify his/her opportunities in life.
• Gain the security and freedom from knowing that your family member can too have a normal place in society with the independence and self-worth that comes from having a meaningful job.
• Become part of a global movement to help society see people with autism and similar challenges as equal members of society.
