Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United
States, and the numbers are increasing. It is a neurological disorder
that interferes with normal development of reasoning and communication
skills. It changes the life of the person with autism, and it creates
trepidation in the hearts of their family.
Historically, most of the
focus has, of course, been on children, while there has been a dramatic
shortage of programs and facilities for the adults whom those children
one day become. Adults whose behaviors are so fragile, whose hold on
the real world is often so tenuous, and whose now aging parents know
all too well the frightening alternatives to leaving home. With the
passing of time, those parents find it more and more difficult to
maintain the painfully won gains made during the school years, once
that support system is no longer present. Rusty's Morningstar Ranch is an answer long sought, carefully planned, and implemented with a delicate sensitivity for families as well as Ranchers.
