Though their disabilities are different, Justin, the subject of the NYT article, and Ashley face similar challenges in the future. And like Justin's parents, my struggles in helping to facilitate a good future for Ashley at times seem overwhelming.
This article does an excellent job of relating those challenges and struggles. It's a long article, very long, but worth every second of your time to read. There is also a video which shares a lot of Justin's story, but not as much as the article itself.
If you are the parent of a soon-to-be-adult with significant disabilities, I don't think you will regret taking some time to read Justin's story....
