[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 113662, member: 1550"] If he doesn't have the skills to live on his own (a real consideration) can you look for an assisted living situation? Is he capable of being out on his own and just not trying or is he too disabled? I'd get social services involved if he is a disabled young adult so that he can get in a program and have an adult placement. Then you've killed two birds with one stone. From his medications and serious diagnosis., I'd try to find him a safe, assisted place to stay. He is probably WAY behind his years in maturity and may possibly need help for a long time, possibly all his life, but for now I'd just worry about next year. One day at a time...is he capable of remembering to take his medications every day? Shower? Go to work? Be responsible? Not is he doing it, but is he capable of it? If he's not, I feel it's best to make an alternative plan for him since he can't live at home. He may not be able to go out in the world and deal with it either. There are in between options...good luck to you both! [/QUOTE]
