[QUOTE="Fran, post: 261890, member: 3"] Trinity, I don't know of any magic. My difficult child is doing well right now( I don't want to jinx it). Aging, constant reflecting his behavior back at him, his willingness to see(for the first time) that he has sabotaged himself by his absolute confidence that he was right and no one else could possible know as much as he does. We changed up some medications, we tried to keep things real at home and I definitely stepped back and out. I agree with you Trinity that for every success there are too many young adults floundering or living a marginal life. I didn't see my difficult child living anywhere but a structured type arrangement. He did move forward from there but he isn't ready for total independence. He is smart enough to know it. If someone on the spectrum is functioning and doesn't want to be cured, heck more power to him/her. I love quirky, different people. We shouldn't all be the same. However, if you are oppositional simply because "how you are is good enough" and live a life of nothing/video games and contribute nothing it is a parasitic relationship. They have to live off of others. Trinity, it is so difficult to see how someone like you and some wonderful people I know who struggled to get where they are with the challenges that autism spectrum gives you. It was natural development for the N/T person but you guys really have to work at it. You did conquer it but I'm sure it is an ongoing process. You have my utmost respect for your honesty and your willingness to share your struggle. [/QUOTE]
