I have blogged about Autism and Dave Ramsey in the past, but a recent call to Dave’s show really drives home the point that having debt takes away a lot of your options to helping your child with autism. The caller on this day had twin boys with autism, lots of debt, massive stress, and a second job delivering pizzas.

Thinking about our upcoming time away and how important it can be to get help when your family straining, I came across this great article by Lisa Jo Rudy. She makes some great points …
Together you and your partner dreamed of a healthy child - now you face a life very different from what you imagined. Your overwhelming feelings, both individually and combined, are normal and natural in the situation but very difficult nonetheless. The needs of the children are often complex and illusive. Searching to find the cause of children’s developmental problems and the best treatment can be a long hard journey. Getting wrapped up in the stresses and strains of everyday life, relationships inevitably suffer from lack of attention. Communication problems, lack of time and energy for personal, marital, and family activities, and social isolation affect many families. When a disability or chronic illness is discovered, powerful emotions surface and may put relationships on trial.

Keeping on the Dave Ramsey theme, let’s talk about the Autism Budget.
Everyone needs to have a budget, but autism families really, really, really need a budget. Let’s face it, there are a gazillion autism therapies out there today. There are a lot of them that are very helpful, but most are expensive. Money problems are the #1 cause of divorce in America. Autism can for sure exacerbate financial stress and strain.

This article falls into the No freakin’ kidding category. Autism Parents should focus on budgeting to combat the income issue. Without a doubt, if you are the parent of a child with Autism, you should get on the Dave Ramsey Plan.

I have blogged on Dave Ramsey and how his plan can help Autism parents in the past and it went over well enough that I am launching a Dave Ramsey fan-site.

The #1 cause for divorce is money fights and money problems. Some say 85% of parents to special needs kids end up divorced. Combine these two issues and you could be in for a major uphill battle to save your family. You may not be able to make Autism go away, but you can give yourself a chance of being in that 15% that make it by getting your personal finances under control and getting out of debt. Being debt free will remove a large chunk of stress from your life which should translate into a more loving home for your child and more money to care for that child in the future.
