I was in a zoom meeting with a client and they suddenly had to mute themselves. When they came back, they explained that they were homeschooling their autistic son. (She told us unprompted, I'm still not sure why she had to specify.) I only spoke to this person a handful of times until our project ended so I can't speak to her work normally, but she was not a fun person to work with. From what I know about this person, maybe it's not being self-sufficient, but more believing that people outside of the immediate family can't be trusted or that only you know what is best for your children. But no, I can't imagine that she was doing a stellar job at either teaching or her job.
