Your youngster with Aspergers (high-functioning autism) has reached the age of college and career. Your hard work has paid off after years of special education, therapy and family support. Congratulations on a job well done! Now you get to move on to the next phase in life. You’ve given your youngster a good strong foundation and you want to continue to help.
