Age catches up with all of us including people with autism and their caregivers. The session is primarily directed toward family members and caregivers to keep in mind issues they need to keep on top of. Topics to be covered by people who have experienced the issues will include, but not be limited to issues of physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Issues of employment, finance, guardianship, social security and more will be discussed, so you can feel some security that your loved one is properly taken care of when you are no longer able to do it.
