[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 694305, member: 1550"] Night Owl, his Iq doesnt matter. Its his inability to function. Its not about I Q. Whoever told you that is wrong. My son has an average I Q and I have a high verbal I Q, but we both have disabilities and get services. If he qualifies for SSI he also qualifies for services. You need to contact your Dept. of Aging and Disabilities and make an appointment. with them. If you haven't spoken to them, you dont know his options and are misinformed. Do not let the "aging" part of this department scare you off. They help the elderly AND disabled of ALL ages and are vital to getting your son help. I never used an attorney. You shouldn't have to. We didnt go to court. Social Security and Disability granted it. Your son has many problems and should not struggle to get help if you contact the RIGHT people. Unless you talk to the right people, and that is NOT friends, family, educators or psychiatrists, you will not be able to help him. Most people don't understand what qualifies as a disability. They will tell you you need to go to court. That is nonsense. You do need to have official medical documrntation. And you need to go through the right channels. Just filling out a form online is not enough. Remember...Aging and Disabilities. I wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
