I recently read on the internet a survey in Sweden about life expectancy of children with autism, and was quite shocked.
Does anybody know if life expectancy is lower with a child with autism, my son aged 7 was diagonised last year,he is great kid and has lots of friends unlike some on the spectrum so i am lead to believe.
My major worry is school,as he is bit behind other classmates, and then off course getting a job.
Anyway if anyone has any figures re life expectancy question would put my mind at rest.
Many Thanks
