[QUOTE="Fran, post: 33125, member: 3"] susiequte, there just seems to be a black hole for my difficult child, that is money. Obviously from the responses you have received it isn't uncommon. I think Janet is right that a lot of teens are stupid with money but that's a learning process. Those guys learn from their mistakes. My difficult child is aghast and appalled that "his" money should go for supporting him. The government and his mother have supported him and his work money is for him. He really doesn't see it or get it. It's really alarming. You would think he would get that he is to contribute to his upkeep but since the world revolves around him, he doesn't get it. It is self absorption that is associated with his diagnosis. We have taught budget, written budget, set goals, and everything possible. It just doesn't click. It's not like he is buying booze or drugs or even clothes. It's junk. I don't have any answers but I wanted to tell you that you aren't alone. The homeless shelter is looking better and better.
