Rumi: Surge like an ocean; don't scatter yourself like a storm. I am an old lady with an adult child with level 3 profound autism. I cannot die.

@AgeofAutism He was a good man and I hung the moon and the stars on him and the Autism research Institute in the early 90's. I printed out reams of his papers and carried them in a folder trying to sway physicians and to warn other parents. All for nothing.

@CV67Catapult @AgeofAutism 32 years as well. We are the OG of autism parents. And tired. Very tired.

[Broccoli Rob @Oceansurges]

@Psion3301 @MakeAStandOrg @RobertKennedyJr I care about you. I made it to 70, widowed, and still caring for my profoundly autistic daughter. Lonely and exhausted and terrified of the inevitable.

[Broccoli Rob @Oceansurges]

@CombatingAutism Daughter, 32. Nobody cares.

[Broccoli Rob @Oceansurges]

@and_kell @AgeofAutism Our journey started in 1996. I carried paper files with me everywhere to share with everyone and anyone and honestly, no one wanted to hear it. Most still don't.

[Broccoli Rob @Oceansurges]

@JulieBockey @MedicaidGov It resonates whenever you say no dying permitted. I am 70 and my daughter with profound autism, IDD, is 32. I simply cannot die. I am her world and all she has.

@AgeofAutism @ariConference Geez, Dr. Edelson was our hero back in the early days. He was so brave and fought for us. What is going on?

[Broccoli Rob @Oceansurges]

@MakeAStandOrg Mine as well. 32 now and profoundly autistic. they say it takes a lot to take down a female but when it hits, it hits the hardest.

@KTAsher5 @alliesu41287802 I am going to purchase your book for the hope. I am a 70 year old widowed mother caregiving my 32 year old severely impaired autistic and ID child. My heart is breaking reading the heartless misguided posts today while living the truth.

[Broccoli Rob @Oceansurges]

@JillEscher @HHSGov Thank you for your excellent post. I am 70 caring for my 32 year old autistic child with ID and I am scared out of my mind for her future. So many comments and posts today are heartless and clueless. I am hoping for maybe caregiving robots to be a thing.

@youbegood05 @newstart_2024 It is a terrible prayer but I pray it every day to live for just one minute longer than my daughter.

@SqueakTweets4u @AgeofAutism My refrigerator is permanently in the garage and a fake empty one in the house.

[Broccoli Rob @Oceansurges]

@AgeofAutism My life exactly. It is an unreal 24/7 grind and I am terrified of dying and leaving this level of caregiving to someone else.

[Broccoli Rob @Oceansurges]

@AgeofAutism My vax injured daughter is 31 and completely dependent. A 2 year old for life.

@FluffyDogAttack Aunt Jo in Oregon reads you every single day via bookmark. Your strength & resilience keep me strong as I continue to do the right thing for myself & those in my care. Thank you so much.
