From the article: Coping with Grief After an Autism Diagnosis
What's your biggest fear for your child with autism?
My biggest fear
- My daughter is adult asperger has no real friends stays in the house all the time has been unable to hold a job which helps cause low self esteem. I am her only friend . One daughter gets along with her and the other two have no patience. I am 60 my daughter is 30 . She wants to be married and have family. My fear for her is that she will always be alone and more so totally when I'm gone. None of her sisters or her father ever go visit her makes me sad to see her all alone

My Son Ran Away!
- My son is a runner. I think my latest scare was when my son got out of the house, ran off, and we didn't know where he was for 20 minutes. Heart stopping horror. We found him 2 blocks away at a park swinging. Never, ever want to relive that fear. :( We're now looking into GPS tracking systems to make sure it doesn't happen again.
