[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 692837, member: 20490"] Yes, drug free, although shows many signs of addictive personality with his internet usage. He also has a binge eating disorder. I worry that the support system he may find on the street could lead to drug use. That would devestate me. As an aspie with black and white thinking, he has always sworn off that lifestyle. I hope that will continue to be a protection for him. He has applied once for SSI but was denied. He is so very high functioning, brilliant and well spoken. It's hard for evaluators to see how his disability affects him. You have to live with him to really see it. That is how he was finally diagnosed, after a team of doctors and therapists observed his daily behavior in the inpatient and day treatment units. He will perseverate on one topic, struggles greatly with hygiene, etc. [/QUOTE]
