I am more inclined to think conservatorship is harmful than helpful, based on what people have posted here. Using the other support options mentioned in the article is a better course in many cases. I do not believe that most autistic people need conservatorship, but they do need a lot of adult living skills. If parents can maintain a friendly relationship with their adult with HFA, they can help a lot in achieving the best possible life for their offspring.

If the schools, prisons, and foster care system are any indication, the state is VERY BAD at 'parenting'.
