Autism Month : From Corporate America to Autism Advocacy: Michael Pereira's Path to Supporting Special Needs Families
Michael Pereira shares his family's journey from denial to acceptance after his son's autism diagnosis, explaining how this experience led him to create The Autism Voyage blog and develop financial planning strategies specifically for special needs families. He reveals the transformative power of physical activity, particularly jiu-jitsu, in helping his son develop discipline, social skills, and a daily routine that brings excitement and structure.
• Started questioning what would happen to his autistic son if he or his wife passed away or became incapacitated
• Created a blog after finding most online resources were outdated or too shallow for complex needs
• Discovered jiu-jitsu as a game-changing activity that helped his son follow instructions, socialize, and develop discipline
• Reduced screen time after noticing it led to addiction-like behaviors and aggression
• Offers financial planning focused on scenarios beyond death—including disability, illness, or long-term care needs
• Emphasizes understanding current financial situation before making future plans
• Balances parenting between his son with autism and younger daughter who's now in speech therapy
• Shares weekly newsletter with practical tips for parents at TheAutismVoyage.com
