[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 254241"] Finished the book and thought it was very good. One thing that was very helpful was in the back, she talked about special considerations. She had a small section on adult children with disabilities. She specificially mentioned bipolar disorder. Perhaps this confusion has come up before. :winking: Anyway, she talked about working with physicians and other medical professionals to attempt to determine if limitations are present and to work within those limitations. She said each case would be different and that a physician might be the best person to help sort it out. She indicated that a person could have a disability and with extra time be expected to be fully productive in the world. She also said that it was important that the focus should not be on possible limitations, but on abilities. She said adult children still need to be expected to do the best they can do and we still should not enable. She talked about the difference between helping and enabling and strongly encouraged parents to know the difference. [/QUOTE]
