If you are intent on having a career of your own, do not try to be both parent and caregiver to an autistic child - the exertion will be way more than your system can handle. Instead, you should do yourself a favor and hire a professional caregiver to either live in or pay daily visits to care for your child.
You could also register them in one of the specialized schools for helping autistic patients and other mental related diseases that are popping up all over the place. Do yourself a favor and do not let money be a factor in making this decision. You already have this child; there is no backing out.
Secondly, you may want to do yourself a favor by logging on to the internet and joining any one of the autism societies online. You are sure to find more than a few of them, and they are bound welcome you with open arms. Various parents and people who have loved ones suffering from autism and autism spectrum disorders can share their experiences with you, and you can share yours with them. Together, you can find comfort in the fact that you are triumphing over a debilitating disorder in ways that would have made other people cave in. Also, you learn better how to care for your autistic child.
Perhaps one day, some ten or twenty years into the future, the autistic child or sibling might make a gesture, say a word, make deliberate eye contact with you, or settle in an uncharacteristic way when you are in the same room, and that could be all the thanks that you ever get from them for your efforts. But when that happens - and it will - you will know that your efforts have not been wasted.
