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.
