For everyone with special needs children, one major thing to get setup is a Special Needs Trust(SNT). I didn't even realize that was a thing until about a year ago. It really puts a little peace of mind in the back of your head... There I go I'm crying again. Peace out homies.
You heard about it a year ago…I heard about it just now from your post. Thank you.
My biggest fear is knowing that we won’t be here forever to care for him. And thinking he’s going to end up in one of those shitty institutions or group homes. I worked in one when I was doing my undergrad. I know most of the people there really care and do their best, but it would be a shitty place to have to live. We’re doing everything we can for him, to prepare him, but I wonder if he’ll ever be truly capable of living on his own. High functioning for autism can still be light years away from “normal” everyday functioning.
I’m in shock you people don’t know these things. Go see an estate planning lawyer. Talk. Snt. Healthcare directives. Peace of mind
If it looks like Medicaid beds suicide or assisted suicide. Unless you’re in rural America I guess
ABLE (aka STABLE) accounts are also very useful. They are much easier to set up than a SNT and the money can be used for more things (including living expenses). On the other hand, ABLE accounts have annual contribution limits and size limits. In many instances it makes sense to have both an ABLE account and a SNT.
Special Needs Trust vs. ABLE Account: What's the Difference?
Both ABLE accounts and special needs trusts (SNTs) give people with disabilities a way to save money tax-free, but there are important differences.

'Your feelings'........
Forget your family's REAL life vaxx injuries experience.
It's just your 'feelings'.....
Not sure where you live. If in Indiana, the ARC is a great resource.
It's important to talk to someone who is versed in the specifics of special needs kids and adults.
I waded through a lot of blanks stares and people saying shit this was just flat out wrong before I got a referral to the guy we used. I posted the website for ARC of Indiana above. If anyone is in Indiana, that's a great place to start.
If you're in the Indy area, Bob Fechtman is who we used for guardianship and our SNT. I can't recommend him enough.

Rising Autism Rates Are Not an ‘Epidemic’
Autism rates are rising, but RFK, Jr., is wrong about the reasons. Here’s what the science says
