[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 663141, member: 1550"] Although he is hostile to being managed and my autistic son isn't, I still feel it is in your child's best interests to get him a guardian. It can be a stranger that the court appoints. If not, he will not take care of himself and he will have all the power over his medical care, which he doesn't seem to understand. Nobody can legally oversee his mental health care, at his age, unless t hey have legal guardianship over him. They still can't make him take his medications, but they can get info from doctors, make appointments and call the office if he is not complying in coming and try to work it out, much like a child who is underage. He can't take care of himself. He doesn't know how. On the other hand, you can't care for him either. It is too hard on you and he is too hostile. You may want to look into this, but it IS a legal procedure and the judge has to order it. Since he is already considered disabled, I doubt it would be too hard. Your son will fight any guardianship, and I'm not sure how it works if he doesn't want a guardian. I don't think all people have a choice of refusal. Can't hurt to try, hon. You can't go on like this. Big hugs. Just got home from work and trying to help with a tired mind... [/QUOTE]
