In this episode, “Legal Guardianship, Conservatorship, or Power of Attorney: Safeguarding Your Adult Child with Autism,” I’m joined by Barbara Glover, a special needs advocate and founder of Exceptional Young Adults and More, LLC. We explore essential legal protections for Black parents of adult children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Many parents may not realize the importance of guardianship, conservatorship, or power of attorney until it's too late—or may not know these options exist.
Barbara explains each option, guiding parents on which might best safeguard their adult child’s future and provide family peace of mind. We also discuss the potential consequences of lacking these protections, including a moving personal story of a family caught unprepared.
Plus, check out the “Really Dumb Things People Say About Autism” segment, highlighting some amusing but clueless comments people make about autism.
