Rolling Stone magazine recently published an article titled “Luke’s Best Chance: One Man’s Fight for His Autistic Son” in which a father describes the great efforts he must go through to ensure his son has access to quality of services once he turns 21 and ages out of the education system.
The struggles, triumphs and letdowns are all described in this raw, open article. But the joy of finding a perfect place for his son, The Gateway Farm Shared Living Collaborative in Massachusetts, is also shared.
This is a great article with not only a lot of key information, but a lot of validation for other parents and caregivers who may have similar feelings and frustrations. It is important to remember that you are not alone and there are resources available. With more awareness and coverage of the resources available, hopefully more people will receive the right supports without having to fight for it.
