As parents, we’re struggling to support our children who are not working or studying | Letters

Many parents are grappling with the complexities of supporting adult children who aren't pursuing employment or education, as highlighted by a recent letter in The Guardian. This situation is particularly challenging for families with neurodivergent youth who face additional social and communication barriers. The responses reveal a broader societal concern about the growing number of young adults who aren't engaged in traditional pathways to independence, raising questions about the support systems in place and the future economic and social implications. This issue underscores a critical need for more inclusive strategies to help these individuals navigate adulthood successfully.
