How do you get child support for an autistic child over 18?
Many child support questions are truly dependent on the state that you reside in. In many instances, if the child is disabled and proven to be autistic, if you have not received SSI (maybe you are limited based on your income); now would be the time to apply for it. Also, in some states, if a child is disabled the non-custodial parent could be liable to continue paying child support until the child reaches the age of 21. Just understand that it usually has to be court ordered by a judge since the disability acts as an extenuating circumstance.

An exception to the rule that parents' duty to support their children ends at the children's majority occurs when the child is disabled. In cases where the child is disabled, mentally or physically, and therefore unable to support himself/herself upon reaching the age of majority most states have adopted the rule that parents have a duty to support their adult disabled children. Most often, courts define "disability" in economic terms, i.e., the inability of the adult disabled child to adequately care for himself/herself by earning a living by reason of mental or physical infirmity. States differ as to whether support for an adult disabled child is determined by the state's child support guidelines or by the needs of the child as balanced by the parents' ability to provide support. In the case the child CAN support themselves then they'd be legally an adult at their states normal age of majority which is generally 18.
