That wasn't the purpose of this article. I wasn't trying to describe what it's like to take care of an autistic child. It was an experiential piece written from my experience as an ASD parent and from a discussion I recently had with other ASD moms about how the public perceives and how they react to something they know little about.
Obviously you were looking for a different article.
Honestly, I couldn't write an article about the all the challenges of taking care of an autistic child because each child is different. Mine is very high performing, while I know others who are non-verbal and far more severe than my son. Those experiences would be different from mine. I don't think one could write an all-encompassing article like that because there are so many variables in autism that makes each parent's experience different.
