    Autism Recession or Depression

     

    Hello This is TannersDad Tim Welsh Advocate for Humanity & Autism reporting once again. I am here with my Non-Verbal low functioning Son on a Snow day in the middle of a down state Illinois bean field.

     

    I am in my second week of being with out a job. This is the second time in less than a year that I am jobless. My first company up and left town. The current company dealing with construction has no work. So again I find my self in the unemployment line. What I did not know is that my benefits get cut by 75% due to me earning less money than last year. Now I am in danger of losing our home.

     

    I am asking the world what you would do… To what extreme should I go. I am too old for the military, No resources to go back to school, SO….

     

    We are now in the shadow of another mother taking the life of her Autistic Son. It is very crazy times for families dealing with Autism. They call it a recession But for my family it is depression.

     

    My Sister owns a English School in Japan. Should I leave my family for a year & Go to Japan to teach English? I Could save a substantial amount, but would that be considered abandoning my responsibilities at home. I am very interested in the opinion of other Irepporters… Let me know what you think I should do
