[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 436452, member: 1550"] Thanks all. Marg, i agree with you. However, I am thinking of a two year college plus part time work. She can take a few classes. She is going to need the socialization that goes with being around kids her age (or young adults). Most young adults in two year colleges are slower to mature in some ways. She is always going to struggle with the memory thing...I have it too and it has hampered me in many ways. I have become a big fan of post-its and notes...but at jobs, they often expect me to catch on faster than I can. I don't even know if Jumper can multi-task enough to work at McD's...lol. I had trouble doing it. I think I am going to gently suggest maybe she start out in an Early Childcare Program. That doesn't require a great deal of memory and shes can take advantage of how good she is with people and little kids. They love her. She can always try something more challenging later on. she could also keep playing sports at a two year college. That's very important to her. Soooooooooo frustrating. I agree that executive functions are part of the problem. Although her birthmother was a gem and her kids with her hub have no serious learning problems, her birth father went the wrong way and got into drugs...can't help wondering if he had learning problems. He probably did. Ok, onto her neuropsychologist evaluation to learn more. [/QUOTE]
