Growing up with ASDs

One of my favorite books and blogs is John Elder Robinson's Look Me in The Eye. He has a great post up now talking about a longitudinal study looking at what happens when children with autism grow up. So many parents are scared to look that far ahead, but results from such a study would be invaluable. Here are areas I hope they examine:

* What impact various interventions had

* What impact aspect of the family unit had

* Jobs and job success

* Relationship success

* Overall happiness

After all, isn't that what all parents want: for their child to be happy?
