[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 638949, member: 1550"] We have a son who is high functioing autism, but not ready to make all of his own decisions either. He is also very vulnerable. We did get legal guardianship of him with his consent and I am his payee again with his consent. He is also in a program for adults with disabilities. You can file for disability for her (sounds like she would be a shoo-in) and she will have service options attached to that as well as a monthly check and medical assistance. They may even find her a part time job that she can do so that she socializes and feels good about herself. My son has a lot of confidence in himself, in spite of being on the spectrum and he is a very happy young man. We started out by contacting Aging a nd Disabilities in our county as our school counseling told us too and it went from there, very smoothly. I am very happy with my twenty one year old son's services and he is getting more independent every day. Your daughter may have a different type of path to walk, but if she needs services as a disabled adult, she can get them. As long as you have a diagnosis that says she is disabled and has a definite diagnosis, you can get a lot of much needed help. My son lives in his own apartment by his choice. There are group homes for other types of situations. Wishing you good luck :) [/QUOTE]
