Mother Of Severely Autistic Adult
Mother of severely autistic adult
This is an old article but it talks about the extreme challenges this mother has to go through. She calls living at home as "Bondage" And being imprisoned by her son:
QUOTE "I can't feed him anymore and I can't take it any longer. I am living and trusting in God, but with Easton, the more I try, is the more it seems like I am failing and this has been going on for nearly 20 years," said the woman, who believes she is beyond simple depression at this point.
The other part of this is that people see the boy's actions as violent and may in turn become violent with him:
QUOTE He randomly screams short phrases or his mother's name, or wanders around asking repetitively, "Yuh want bulla? Yuh want bulla?" "His behaviour is an embarrassment, especially around people who don't understand," his mother said mournfully, noting that she also fears others hurting him because of his behaviour, especially when he wanders away from the home at nights.
