Living with Autism Study dispels divorce myth?

The Easter Seals Living with Autism Study was mentioned in a post on the Left Brain/Right Brain blog last week. The post was titled “Divorce and Autism,” and quoted from different blogs that had pondered the divorce rate among couples who have a child (or children) on the autism spectrum.

Easter Seals (in conjunction with the Autism Society of America) did look at the question (quite recently I might add: July, 2008 — Report Published in December, 2008) as part of a larger “Living With Autism” study.

Using our Easter Seals Living with Autism Study as a reference, the Left Brain/Right Brain post determined that reports of a high divorce rate among families with autism are “urban legends.” The post encouraged readers to download the Easter Seals Living with Autism Study to see the results for themselves.
