[QUOTE="Otto von Bismark, post: 511699, member: 12905"] Buddy, this sounds a lot like my son. We are in that nebulous borderline category, too. We are starting to think of trusts for after we are gone, and SSI, and group homes, and alternatives to college. It is a little frightening. Quite sad. I just have to look at his accomplishments as REAL accomplishments, even though they are things "a seven year old should be able to do" etc... and all the other junk I have heard. He is 13 and doesn't understand money yet, but I'm not giving up on it. We still practice every time we go out, and I expose him to whatever I can...we listen to Radiolab, he watched a video on khanacadamy.org ( to explain a math concept), and any time I see a strength or interest, I GRAB ONTO THAT SUCKER and help him develop it. That's about all I've got in my toolbox, right now. [/QUOTE]
