[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 656919, member: 1550"] Lil, he can get tested by a neuropsychologist and find out if he is eligible for services. ASpies are high functioning and can learn to make friends, even if it is hard for them. I've been in a group (I love groups) of parents with autistic spectrum kids and they mostly work. Very few drive. Many needed job coaches at work first. There are things only your son can do even if he has Aspergers. One is to get himself diagnosed. Another is to accept services. My son, who is not as high functioing as an Aspie, has a job, friends, and he lives alone and does not get into trouble. Aspies have a choice on how they behave too. The first step is for him to get a comprehensive evaluation. A talk with a therapist or even a psychiatrist won't tell him much. He needs to find out his strengths and deficits and have the neuropsychologist send it to Disability. Many Aspies work, have wives and kids and are highly motivated. Sonic is a very hard worker and always has been which is why he is doing as well as he is. [/QUOTE]
