[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 258543, member: 7083"] I think the sleeping thing is a teenage thing. Both of my kids do it, my son way more than my daughter. If he's on the level of an 8 year old, his answer to your question about what he wants to do sounds appropriate. What most of us has found is that we have to change our definition of success. Your son may never go to college or what have you. But, if he is able to find happiness and some level of independence, I would call that success. To me, success means being the best one can be. Everyone's best is not the same. He's 14; you still have time to obtain services to help him live independently, help him take on his personal care. We get those services from MR/daughter. As my daughter becomes old enough to get a job, they have programs to help her and employers they work with. As she transitions to adulthood, they have programs to assist with budgeting and paying bills, etc. [/QUOTE]
