[QUOTE="Frieda, post: 710830, member: 18242"] I think you are right, he will need to stay close so he can have the consistency of home and we can keep an eye on him. We do have a community college close by and there are also several small colleges close by (though I am not sure we could afford them). He has never been a kid whose anxiety takes the form of flight, he usually lashes out when anxious. We just had a relative stay for a few days in our guest room and even though he was quiet and not in my son's space and we had the same routines as usual and my son had advance warning of the visit, my son was all over the place emotionally. It went as far as bursting in the guest room at night (while relative was sleeping) and yelling "you are not welcome here!". It was a sad reminder of his social challenges and his need for sameness or he will go of the rails. It is ironic that someone so academically capable struggles so in the real world. I just want him to have a measure of independence and happiness as an adult. For my sake as much as his. Thank you all for your input and confirming what I probably knew. [/QUOTE]
