Living With Autism - results from a recent study

Easter Seals Living With Autism Key Findings

Worry, concern, apprehension, anxiety, lost sleep,

fret, uneasiness – universal feelings every parent

encounters when it comes to caring for their

children. Imagine life as a parent of a child with

autism and how such feelings compare and, very

likely, compound. What fears do families have for

their children’s future? What supports do they need

to better cope, plan and live with autism?

A new Easter Seals study closely considers and quantifies just that. The following details overall results and key findings, and offers a sampling of the powerful sentiments parents of children with autism shared with Easter Seals for the Living with Autism Study.

A detailed presentation of data collected during the Living with Autism study is available here.
