[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 693577, member: 20051"] Oh, no one in my maternal biological family sees it as anything less than thievery. I should also mention, if you don't know, that my sister is in prison, so I am not really sure how they think she will raise these kids, but details don't really matter, do they? LOL The 7 year old doesn't remember her, and the last time she saw the 4 year old she was a month old. I've had custody of her since birth. My suggestion to you regarding services for your son would be to 1) discuss partial hospital/day programs with his hospital treatment team when you meet with them. He, obviously needs ongoing services. 2) Contact your state's DDD on your own (hopefully they have a website) and see what, if any, services your son would qualify for. I think that he would qualify given he carries an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. In NJ they have lots of programs that help teens and young adults with developmental disabilities transition into independent living, including employment services. Here, they actually have a whole separate division that deals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), [/QUOTE]
