[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 656928, member: 11791"] Physical age inappropriate, yes. Developmental age inappropriate? probably not. My now-adult conundrum kid isn't in the same shoes as Lil and Jabber's boy. Not on drugs, actually holding down a job. But other than that? He's closer to 14 than adult in most of his thinking, and it would be totally inappropriate for us to expect him at this point to do otherwise. Our kid IS moving forward, just much slower than most people would expect. My kid was to the "won't go" point at about age 14. Its been a long road. Then we ran a book that HE connected with... and HE wanted to pursue testing. The diagnosis made him LESS "lazy", not more. It was less of an excuse, not more. There was a real reason why he thought and felt as he does. We've since found out there are more dxes that apply to him - and each time we get another piece of the puzzle, he moves forward. He is getting help (now that we have adult services - child and youth services were a joke). [/QUOTE]
