Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 After reading many posts here about what will happen to our children when we are gone, and losing a friend over the holidays, I am trying to get information together and write my own will and " life plan " for our autistic son. I would also be interested in how anyone else has involved family/friends in this discussion. There is not another family in our circle which I believe could take on the full- time responsibility in caring for our son, and don't want him to be sent to a state hospital if something happened to us. Can anyone recommend the following: -Lawyers specializing in this area who are experienced in working with families of special needs children -Financial planners also experienced in long term health planning for special needs kids -Long term health care insurance (is this available for autistic children or are they considered to have a pre-existing condition?) -What are the reputable group homes in Texas for mentally handicapped? Sorry to post a dismal request, but it is a reality for us. I know I won't always be here to take care of him. Thanks much, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
