In a study looking at the day-to-day experiences of parents of kids on the spectrum, researchers found that such couples spend an average of 21 fewer minutes per day together.

“Those 21 minutes add up over weeks and months to almost 128 fewer hours spent together over a year,” said Sigan Hartley of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, lead author of the study published this month in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.
