[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 517113, member: 1550"] Thanks both of you! buddy, he has been transitioning for four years, but he is one of those k ids with a solid label and obvious Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who is too high functioning, but not high functioning enough, if you know what I mean. He can't compete in the workforce with others and needs help with transitions...but he can do some jobs and will really put his heart and soul into his job. He probably would not do well working full time, but that's ok...he will probably get social security when his adoption subsidy runs out (they extended it until age 21 for him). Tech school is not for him right now, really. He isn't interested in any of the programs they have and would have to start out taking remedial high school classes first before they'd let him take anything else. The only difference is...we'd have to pay for those high school classes. I'm not sure we could get a full scholarship. If he was wildly excited, we'd find a way, but what he really wants to do is get a job. Thanks for the support, all. I feel better now. Buddy, I will let you know how it goes. I k now you will be in my spot one day :) It's really not that bad, I'm just a worrier :) [/QUOTE]
