It depends on the severity. Autism treatment has come a very long way. There are many therapies available. These therapies work on social and academic progress. I am a mother of an autistic child. Hang in there. As long as your child is happy and healty, that's all that matters. Go to the Autism Society website. There is lots of information and support there.
Ettina: I am high-functioning autistic. It seems to me that the most important determinant of what it's like for an autistic person is how other people react to your autism. When I was a kid being bullied at school and punished by teachers for things I couldn't help, it really sucked. But as a homeschooled kid with accepting parents, and now as a college student working towards turning my intense interest into a degree and a career, life is pretty good.
From what I've seen with other autistics, no severity of autism makes you incapable of having a good life. It may make you unemployable, or unable to live independently, but given the proper support, anyone with autism can be happy. If you're doing what you love to do, surrounded by people who care about you and accept you for who you are, life is good no matter how severe your disability.

You don't have a child with autism, you have an Autistic child - recognise their identity.

Your child is not to blame for your depression.

How you cope with your Autistic sons behavior depends on what behavior he's displaying and what problems it is causing. One of the most important things to remember is that your child is Autistic, too often neurotypical parents of Autistic children try to force their children to act like they're neurotypical - this puts a lot of extra stress on a child so can make their Autism worse, but also it is telling your child you don't respect them. The more you work WITH your childs Autism the easier life will be for you, your child, and everyone else in your lives.
