1. I can see potential pros and cons...
But I've seen some very overprotected autistic kids whose parentd are afraid to let them do anything! Thanks for the video! :hi:

3. This is a problem that is rarely discussed
what will happen to all the autistic children when their parents are gone, or are no longer able to care for them.

Perhaps this is a way to prepare them for that eventuality.

4. I know. And, perhaps this will be a way to ease them into the real world
as they grow up.
