[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 513848"] Your difficult child's age: 12 ( will be 13 in May) Diagnosis/diagnoses: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and ODD, but I think that there is something else going that they just haven't found yet. Whether you think he/she will: live at home, live with friends, group home, independent living, institution. He is going to have to be independent whether he likes it or not. I have done my time in pergutory. Type of work: none, volunteer only, part-time, full-time, sheltered workshop or supported work. Full time Education: drop out of high school, ged, graduate from high school, graduate from high school but with an IEP, tech school, college. He says he wants to go to culinary school, but that's always subject to change . Relationships: Not sure about this one. If he treats a girlfriend/wife the way he treats the rest of this family he's going to end up alone. If he can figure out how to treat people with respect then he can be very loving and I think he will end up married. Friends: alone, one or two friends, strong group of friends, socialization will be limited to caregivers/paid support persons: A few good friends, lots of acquaintances Independence: (obviously this will be answered with the other questions for the most part): Independent. I've already told husband that he can not come back here when he finishes school. I've hinted to difficult child about that as well. I'm done. I need the break and difficult child could use the time growing up without being under the thumb of his difficult child brother. [/QUOTE]
