50/50 SHARED PARENTING WITH AN AUTISTIC CHILD, FRIEND OR FOE?

IS SHARED PARENTING THE BEST WAY FOR A CHILD WITH AUTISM TO GROW UP, AND HOW DOES THIS HURT OR HELP THE CHILD IF 50 /50 IS IMPLIMENTED?
IF YOU COULD SUPPLY ME WITH INFORMATION OR WEBSITES FOR DETAILS ON THIS MATTER, I WOULD APPRECAITE IT.

Divorce is very hard on all kids, but it can be extremely hard on autistic children because they have a harder time dealing with scheduling and emotional changes. The best thing that you can do, is be honest and set up a steady schedule from the beginning. It takes time to adjust, but as long as the schedules don't change your child will adapt. You will have to be patient and give it time. Here are a few good articles I found for you:
