Had a big post but the computer ate it, so, redux: Worked with autistic clients for 5 years, though not my main house as a caregiver. All fairly low functioning but with varying temperments and ADL skills. It can be a struggle from time to time but most of the horror stories I hear about ASD are from parents trying to raise kids with ASD on their own. Even without having to work it's mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting and one often needs a support network to cope. Companies like the one I worked for had day programs and respite services which work exceptionally well for children with ASD. It seems to be one of the healthiest ways to socialize children with ASD as well as providing a much needed break for the primary caregivers.

do you think the EQ client on your hard drive could also be considered an "autistic client"? The subtext here is that you are an autistic yourself just fyi
