Raising a Grandchild with Autism
Cornelia Hayes raised four boys into adulthood while working full time for 43 years – some stellar accomplishments and ones deserving of retiring to a life of relaxation and leisure. When you ask Cornelia if she has time to enjoy what retirement offers, she responds, “Very little! We don’t have many of those days.”
After retiring from a successful career at State Farm Insurance, she and her husband moved directly into the role of primary caregivers to their 5-year-old grandson Curtis, Jr., who was diagnosed at a young age with Autism Spectrum Disorder and requires specialized care and supervision.
