An Autism Dad Asking the Questions Every Parent Needs Answered
In this episode of The Autism Podcast, I’m not the expert. I’m an autism dad trying to understand how to secure my child’s future. So I brought in 2 people who are experts: Certified Financial Planners Steve Clark and Nelson Maldonado—both seasoned professionals who specialize in helping families like mine make long-term financial decisions that matter.
We didn’t talk theory. We talked real life—what happens to your child when you’re gone, and what you need to do now to make sure they’re safe, supported, and set up for life.
They also shared real stories of families who accidentally made costly mistakes—like leaving money directly to their child and unintentionally disqualifying them from benefits.
Planning for Housing, Not Just Dollars
As a Realtor, I know families want answers about housing. Steve & Nelson explained how real estate can be titled inside a trust to give your child a safe place to live without jeopardizing benefits.
We talked about how financial planning intersects with legal, medical, and housing decisions, and why having a coordinated plan is the only real protection.
You Don’t Have to Know Everything. You Just Have to Start.
This conversation was a wake-up call for me—and it might be for you too. You don’t have to be perfect. But you do have to plan.
