[QUOTE="Fran, post: 374699, member: 3"] Janet, I'm laughing about microwaving hot pockets. difficult child lived off of those. He has moved on to sandwiches for lunch. My plan is to help him with a menu and a corresponding grocery list. I know in order for this to work, he will need a structure around his days that is his choice to follow or not to follow. It will be the deciding factor. Janet, you may want to put him on the list for the Carolina Living and Learning Center in Pittsboro. It's a long waiting list but at least it's something. You will need to get him evaluated and diagnosed. The fact that he works is probably indicative of his ability to function. Social groups are out there but you have to be diagnosed. Once he is more socialized then he may connect with a roommate. Marguerite, you sound as if you have a colorful family with lots of talents. I have found that the people who gravitate to a specialty have been touched by that specialty. People who work in psychiatry seem to have someone or some experience that make that field their life pursuit. Same with cancer or AS. Hopefully, that gives them some empathy and some insight into how disorders affect others. [/QUOTE]
