[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 19702, member: 1550"] Fran, you got it right. What looks like and is improvement doesn't mean the kids will function well in a typical world as adults. I've seen stats that indicate only 3 in 100 can be independent completely, and I believe it. I think my son will need some watching, no matter how much he improves. I may send Lucas to tech school, he may be able to graduate (with supports) and still may not be able to do the job once he has to perform. This is very much an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) issue. the improvements have a downside--they can deceive you. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids have a very different mode of thinking, as YOU do know [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
