[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 701922, member: 1550"] Hi, sweetie. I have a lovely, perfect autistic son who has the advantage of not having crohns disease as well.I know somebody who has it and its very painful!! I am so sorry. I hope it is under some control. Let me tell you what my son did with his case manager and us helping him. He got a part time 8:30 to 12:30 job and along with SSI we found him a cozy, nice apartment for $430 a month. Our area is not near big cities so real estate is very cheap, but its a peaceful area, rural nearby. he pays electricity, which is low, cell phone which is low, buys food and I give him entertainment money each week. His rent includes water and heat. Pretty good, huh? I am his payee by his consent. I actually manage his money, but it all comes out of his earnings. He goes to sports for adults with special needs although so many just seem normal, like him.He is well behaved, respectful and helpful when asked and that is all we want of him. Like most with autism, he likes alone time but does have one best friend and is talkative to strangers. And he didn't talk at all until age five! He is a blessing. An angel, really. You sound a bit like him although he is more into computers and video stuff than academics. You sound like you are very busy being a sweet young woman, living a good life. You make your mom very happy, trust me, just with that. She probably brags about you like I brag about my son. You may live somewhere where a nice place for $430 is not possible. I would be fine if my son was still with us. Bet your mom is glad you are there too. if you are able to work part time outside the house, that may make you feel good. My son gets a cab punch card or rides his bike or walks all over He is not wanting to drive. There are ways to get around. He says driving would make him nervous. I respect him so much for admitting that yet still getting around. Do you drive? My son is very sensitive to loud noise and bright lights that you get when you drive... it was very fun and heart warming to read about such a nice young woman who reminds me of my awesome son. if you really want to make mom happy just remind her that you love her. A lot. I dont think moms can hear that enough! I doubt she wants you to take care of her. We dont want that from any of our four kids. We are happy when they are nice people with big hearts, like you. And you dont have toworry about her.
