Something Uplifting for a change.
https://www.klkntv.com/sarasota-man-...gravel-worlds/

Kids with "exceptionalities" (learning , physical, emotional and mental disabilities) often are either held back or made to feel they just sometimes cant do what others can.
My nephew is the first autistic person to compete and finish Gravel Worlds.
This kid (he is around 11-13 mentally) is an extremely hard working young man and we couldnt be more proud.
Seeing the rest of those training with him really makes you take a step back for what simple things can bring so much joy.
One of them learned to ride a bike for the first time and it was like he won the lottery.

Love this. What an amazing trainer to keep pushing him like that, but most importantly what a ****ing heart on Joshua! Tell Superman thanks for the motivation.

So he completed his second 100 mile race!

If you all wouldn't mind giving it a view and a like that would help him a lot.

My brothers son has autism and he is a happy go lucky kid.

Sadly he has no social skills or awareness so he can't work, drive a car or do things others can.

He can take care of himself and cook and do most self sufficient tasks.

He is now in his mid 20's and my brother is fearful of what his life will be when he and his wife are no longer around.

They need to set up a Special Needs Trust.

I take care of my grandson and am waiting for a neurological screening on him. Not sure an independent life is in his future.

Best of luck to your nephew.

I think that Scho's brother and his wife are less concerned about the money aspect and more about the personal/emotional well-being of their adult child once they have passed.

You can set up all the monetary needs that will take care of him/her, but finding a situation/group home that will provide the love and support needed is not always guaranteed.

Being the parents of a 32 y/o adult on the autism spectrum with much the same level of concerns my wife and I have grave concerns.

The problem is that there are resources available but those are maxxed out as they can be. Finding good group homes is not at all easy because they have long wait lists. And the ones that are available many times seem a bit sketchey.

Strictly from a financial perspective, they should consider an ABLE account as well as consider a Special Needs Trust. Beyond that, they should look into the various types of Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) available in their state. Supports and services have been evolving over the past generation, and congregate settings such as group homes are being utilized less and less. There have been a lot of advances in supporting people with disabilities in the community that promote both independence and inclusion.

For anyone interested, here is more information about ABLE accounts in Kansas: https://savewithable.com/ks/home.html
