Autism and Aging

Most of the time when we hear about Autism, we think about children. Surprisingly, or not, children with Autism grow up to be adults with Autism. I recently began a practicum rotation at The Resource Exchange (TRE) where I will be working with adults with developmental disabilities (DD). It has opened up a whole new world to me; the families of adults with DD face a lot of challenges that I've never considered before. This article in Time Magazine illustrates some of these challenges, written from the perspective of a sibling.
