When considering custody of a child with autism will the court take into account who has been caring for the child in the past?

Yes, the courts will take into consideration the person or persons who have dramatically helped the child even in a custody battle. If one parent is only babying the child and not getting help (special counseling and schools) and the other parent is, then usually the court will award the child to the parent willing to do the best for that child (but, the other parent may have visitation rights.) If the two parents haven't bothered to help the child and a grandparent, sibling of either parent may also get custody of the child. It's all up to the court system and they want what is best for the child.
To improve on the above answer, I just want you to be aware that the courts will be biased to a mother who keeps stressing how much she has done for the child. The more occupied you are with that, the more chances that they will TAKE AWAY your parental rights, due to being 'harmful' to your child! This is happening to mothers across the world where Autism is involved in the custody case. I wrote about this on my blog in the link I have attached below, and I urge you to read it carefully before asking the courts for anything for your child. You may be saying all the right things, but shooting yourself in the foot. Best of luck.

Yes, a parent receiving disability SSI can seek custody of their children. The court will consider the best interests of the child when making custody decisions, and the disability status of a parent alone does not prevent them from obtaining custody.

Where can you get information on finding a career in caring for people with autism?
Firstly, within the Autism community identity-first language is used: it's Autistic people, not people with Autism - remember to work with Autistic people you need to learn from their community first.There are many careers you could go into working with Autistic people, you need to identify what area you'd like to work in and then start off looking online for more information. From there talk to careers advisers and look at getting in touch with local organizations in that area of work.
What are stereotypes of autism?
Well, there are few stereotypes of autism. One common stereotype is the autistic savant - many people think that every autistic has some area of incredible talent and is otherwise low functioning, when in fact only a few autistics fit that profile. Many disabilities, autism included, seem to have paired stereotypes of mild and severe. In autism, these are the low functioning and high functioning autism stereotypes. Rather than recognizing that most autistics are medium functioning, many people seem to think there are two distinct subtypes of autism - the nonverbal, self-injurious person in diapers; and the highly intelligent, socially awkward person with mild impairment. A few people, confused by the description of 'lack of empathy', think that autism is similar to psychopathy. In reality, autism is a failure of understanding, not caring. Incidentally, autistic repetitive behaviors are sometimes referred to as 'stereotypies' or 'stereotypical behavior'. This consists of actions like rocking back and forth, hand-flapping, lining up toys, etc. It's unrelated to the usual meaning of stereotypes.
