Easter Seals' "Living with Autism" study certainly reflects the concerns of many parents of children with autism. You have to wonder, however, why the media continues to focus its coverage on children when there are adults on the spectrum who are leading productive lives in the community. They are earning paychecks, living with supports in the group residences and apartments, and going to movies and restaurants, just like anyone else.
