Having ASD doesn't mean your child will be forever unable to work. Trevor got his first job after high school working at a summer camp. He subsequently worked at our church doing maintenance work while in college. We were amazed at what he was able to do and his employers loved his promptness, willingness to do any job, and his being "all business" when at work.

The best written requirements could get lost in translation when it comes to developing a solution.
Keep the communication open with stakeholders and avoid assuming too much when interpreting requirements. See all 100 lessons at 6WordLessons.com.  Six-Word Lessons for Dads with Autistic Kids on Amazon, kindle, iTunes, Nook and more
It's likely that one of you will have done more research on ASDs and techniques to use in parenting your child. It's super important you both get well versed on the basics of ASDs (this book is a good start), that you do some of your own research, and you recommend reading to each other to help you get up to speed.

Whether it be new foods, new activities, or different clothes, doing something new takes the person with ASD out of his familiar routine and disrupts his plans. With food, we had an agreement with Trevor that he had to try something ten times before he decided he didn't like it. Had we not done this, he might still be eating hot dogs, grilled cheese or macaroni and cheese for nearly every meal.

It's easy for a PM to think best case when constructing a budget...then get burned when it doesn't happen.
Be realistic about estimating the budget but don't pad the numbers to a point where credibility is questioned. See all 100 lessons at 6WordLessons.com.  Six-Word lessons for Project Managers on Amazon, kindle, iTunes, Nook and more
A well-defined scope can't save a project that has misaligned expectations of delivery.
Articulate the scope/schedule misalignment and identify alternatives to reduce scope or elongate schedule. See all 100 lessons at 6WordLessons.com.  Six-Word Lessons for Dads with Autistic Kids on Amazon, kindle, iTunes, Nook and more
When we compare Trevor's with Briana's "neediness indexes," both still need us for different things. Trevor needs a bit more coaching on new life skills events, such as signing up for college classes for the first time. We are very deliberate in establishing our parental role as coaches and tell him, "Our job is to tell you what we think, your job is to decide what to do with it."
