[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 538403, member: 1514"] I guess I worry because we have never actually gotten Billy dxd with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and he refused to go it when he had health insurance and now he has none. I think he is scared to death to actually reveal stuff to anyone after all this time. I messed up with not realizing there was anything wrong with him as a child. To my eyes when he was young, he was simply the academically gifted but learning disabled geeky good child in the family and I was just thrilled to have him around considering I had two Tasmanian Devils to deal with. Billy was quiet. He basically did what you told him and entertained himself in his room. I never knew that was a bad thing...lol. Then one year in school he wrote this really dark poem in school and everyone was up in arms and we all wanted to send him to a psychiatrist but Billy convinced us that he was told by the teacher to write something like that so he wrote it about what he thought went through either my head or Cory's head. I do wonder now if he was lying. I think Billy is unhappy with himself right now and he has a right to be. His job isnt going well, his girlfriend is being an idiot and I would dump her but I think he feels like he couldnt get anyone else, and who wants to be his age still living at home. Because of the job he cant afford to move out. Tony found him a really good job lead from this place that came from someone that showed up at his job and the guy gave Tony his business card with his first name on it and told Billy to go see him pronto because he could definitely use someone like that. I stayed up that night to give Billy the business card and Billy sent him his resume but thats not what I told him to do. Its been over a week and he hasnt gone down to see the man. Supposedly he is going to call them this week to make an appointment to go see them next week on his day off next week. Now granted this place is a good distance from our house but this place pays really well and he could afford to get a place on his own there after a month or so of pay checks. [/QUOTE]
