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

[QUOTE="Suz, post: 322712, member: 29"] MWM, when I was working at a local high school there was a woman in the Special Education department whose job was in "transitioning" the kids from high school to whatever their next step would be- college or the working world or both. I would start with his school first to see if there is someone on staff who can help you (and him) decide next steps. This is also a good time to contact MHMR to see if there are Independent Living Programs available in your area. I know I talk about this a lot but it's a godsend for those young adults who need some assistance but are making progress along the road to adulthood. If there's a waiting list, this might be the perfect time to put his name on the list. Another thought is to contact your nearest chapter of the Autism Society for ideas and support. Suz [/QUOTE]
