[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 682162, member: 1550"] Getting my son labeled disabled NEVER stopped this hard worker from trying HARD. In fact despite the label, which I dont think he thinks about much, he washes dishes, his laundry, cooks, shops, works part time, bowls, plays softball and lives on his own on his own dime. He rarely asks for any help and is a happy, loving youg man who happens to be a little different. He has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The label of disabled will open doors to him and opportunitities, if he takes them. Some young adults do not work as hard as others. If your son is a hard worker, he will try hard. He will make strides, especially if he HAS to do it himself. I dont know if he lives with you or not. My son worked hard even while still living with us. But he bloomed while in his own apartment, with a job and ssi allowing him to pay his own bills, including rent and electric. in my opinion the label opens doors and will not stop your son from doing anything, if he is capable and eager to try. Just my good experience and food for your thoughts. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
