It is a wonderful thing that we now have so many great interventions for kids on the spectrum. We have learned a lot and now at a very early age, kids on the autism spectrum are receiving lots of services that can help them move towards integration into more neuro-typical situations.
Even in our schools we are seeing
more acceptance and accommodations being made that allow kids and teens on the spectrum to be successful. Even some colleges are now offering special programs so that people facing challenges can continue higher level education.
However, at some point, these ‘kids’ become adults and we are 
still really struggling to figure out where they will fit in. This Huffington Post ‘Opinion’ piece shares one mother’s struggle to help her son find a life that will support him as he becomes a more independent adult. The truth is, we need to make a sure that people who are capable of contributing and are probably happiest when they feel like they are accepted and 
part of the world around them have options! There are some and I encourage you to check out what your community has to offer and share it here in the comments section. I am proud to say that locally, Starbucks offers a wonderful training program that allows those with challenges to find a place with the Starbucks family.
