[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 641313, member: 1631"] Wow, Terry, hard to believe your difficult child is turning 18 already! I hadn't even thought about the fact that in June difficult child will be 18 and then I'll be going to both boards! In some ways I feel like my difficult child acts so much younger that for him I might still be on general quite a bit. I like that you are making a contract with him about the car! Having him stay on his medications and stay in school is smart to have in the contract!! I hear you about the smart career path. difficult child told us at one point that next year he was going to just work full time (as a busboy/dishwasher which he does now). We told him that if he planned to continue to live at home then he would be going to school. Only my difficult child will not be going on to Tech school but back to high school. Due to his disabilities, he is eligible to be on the "out" team for 3 years. I'm hoping by the end of that point that difficult child will be able to be in a supported or independent living situation. Way to go on making it to 18 for both you and difficult child! I know it's been a challenge at times! [/QUOTE]
