Autism can tough on the whole family. While the divorce rates for families with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are the same as non-affected families, the implications can be much more severe. Some children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require 24/7 care. One person alone cannot give that by themselves. Make special time with each child, and your spouse, where you can focus on each other. And do not forget to take care of yourself! Keeping your marriage together, when possible, and keeping the siblings together can help spread the workload and keep everyone safe, happy and healthy.
