It is seen that the number of children affected with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is growing rapidly year on year. Initially these children were broadly taken care by their parents and such parents had their ability to care their children. However, when year passes, parents also cross their able age and they become unfit to care such Autistic Adults (AA). Further, it is quite natural that such parents are also affected with ailments and health issues. All this adds fuel to the caring issue on AA.
At one stage it become difficult to care themselves and they find completely handless to care their AA. In modern living, there are Assisted Living Facilities emerged due to the increased number of elders demography. It is the responsibility of the society to care the elder’s life with peace and dignity. Similarly, it is also important that our society should take care such AA, who are left with no hands of help, when their parents become unfit.
Manpower issue in these fields of service is very difficult and nothing can be done without having institutionalised service. Through corporate employment the manpower can be engaged adequately to care the needs of AA.
It is the worry of parents seen with their question “Who will take care of our AA after our life?” ABC wanted to give solution to such worried parents by caring their AA Children till their life end.
While the old aged parents can live under Nandhavanam’s Care, their children can also live under ABC’s Care. This will reduce the burden to the parents as well to their AA. They can meet at regular intervals and spend time with their children. The combined living concept will give peace to all.
