[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 693575, member: 20490"] Sisters Keeper, I am not sure what is available for adults like him. There is an assisted living program but his case manager said he wouldn't qualify. His adaptive skills are really low, especially self care, so I think he could but it would be a fight. I think a lot of kids with his level of autism just get some extra help from parents, live at home a bit longer etc but with his other comorbid conditions that isn't an option. He is the kind who could easily fall through the cracks so I hope we can brainstorm as a team and find something. Even if Job Corps works out, it will quickly go downhill if he stops his medications. I read your siggy and just wanted to say that my 3 siblings were also raised by my aunt. I was a legal adult by the time my mom's addiction reached the point that she lost custody but just barely. My aunt went from no kids to 3 plus me overnight. It's such a blessing to her and her kids you are able to take them in and raise them (though I doubt she sees it that way....at least my mom didn't.) Hugs! Yes, herding cats, exactly! Haha! [/QUOTE]
