[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 389927, member: 1550"] Hi there. Welcome to the board. I know how you feel. I have a seventeen year old on the spectrum and I worry about him a lot. I'm not sure what country you are from, but in the US we have to start making adult plans for him now so that he can get services/job assistance/possible housing/disability as an adult. That's what we are doing now. What kind of services are available for your child? Also, is your son in any special services? I'm again not sure where you live or how that is handled in your country. Here, the kids get services in school (after you fight for them...lol) and it has really helped my son. While he is not depressed, I can not live forever and I worry about him after hub and I are gone. So I have empathy for your situation; Why not fill us in a bit more so we can make better suggestions? We have a lovely lady here from Australia named Margeruite and she is always GREAT at advising people with kids on the spectrum :) Bet she will check in. I am so sorry you have to be here, but this is a good place. [/QUOTE]
