Let’s be honest, kapwa magulang.
Autism parenting is not just emotionally heavy.
It is financially relentless.
Weekly therapies.
Supplements.
Special food.
Doctor visits.
Missed workdays.
And it doesn’t stop.
Hindi ito “phase.”
This is lifetime responsibility.
Many parents tell themselves:
“Okay lang, may trabaho naman ako.”
But a job is fragile.
One sickness. One retrenchment. One emergency, wala na.
And autism parents cannot afford instability.
Our children need consistency.
Hindi pwedeng “bahala na.”
Extra income is not enough.
What we need is financial capability, income that doesn’t collapse when life happens.
