[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 693700, member: 1550"] Has he ever presented his diagnoses to Disability? You can't just tell them what you were told. You need medical documentation. Clearly your son may never be able to hold a job because of his outbursts, if nothing else. If you can't work to support yourself, you qualify for disability but you do need to have documentation. But Disability services can really help. And you can work part time. And get help with housing, food ammnd medical. Usually you need to apply more than once to be approved. It is rare to get it the first time but a few trigger diagnoses will make it easier. Not everyone is capable of earning a living wage due to cognitive differences, mental illness that interfers, autism that interfers, brain trauma which causes damage...it is not shameful to have a disability and to need assistance.
