A bit premature, but I'm totally afraid my son will fall between the cracks.

[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 322705, member: 2459"] I would start checking into programs in your area. He has an official diagnosis of Aspie correct? If so, that's a good thing. There are a lot of programs out there where he can either live in a group home (although it sounds like he's too high funtioning for that) or have an apartment either alone or with a roomie or two, but still have supports in place including people who check in with him and/or help with finances. If you start now, yes you may be way ahead of the game but at the same time, there may be an application process or waiting list. This way you can see what's out there, what he would qualify for and see what he/you need to do to get him signed up. Some programs may even have something for him now that will help transition when he hits 18. These are the types of thing I would have loved to get my difficult child into but it requires cooperation and involvement on his part and apparently that's too much to ask. :slap: [/QUOTE]
