Podcast: Autism and Divorce 30 minutes. (0.5 CEUs)

Although the data is varied, some data suggests that parents of a child diagnosed with autism have a higher chance of divorce than their counterparts, especially if they are younger when married and have a child early on in their marriage. Parents raising children with autism experience greater marriage strain in part due to stress related to resources, severity of Autism symptoms, and concerns over long-term care. Kelly and Jen have both experienced this firsthand and share their experiences. 30 minutes. (0.5 CEUs) Proudly sponsored by Cite Pro.
