Is this an especially-strong problem with autism, or with disability in general, or people in general? Children get more social services than adults, for sure.

Is this an especially-strong problem with autism, or with disability in general, or people in general?
Children get more social services than adults, for sure.
- rtkwe 7y agoIt's a problem with anything chronic or long term. The people still have the problem but their support suddenly disappears because they magically transition overnight from a child, who in America at least have some marginal bipartisan support for helping, to an adult, where assistance is much more fraught and spotty.
- yitchelle 7y agoIf compared to physical disabilities, Autistic sufferers are sometimes a lot worse off as their symptoms are not visible. Convincing the social services becomes quite difficult.
