[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 526002, member: 1550"] Hi, Rob. Glad you found us. Hey, you may want to post this on Parent Emeritus because those are the kids who are 18 and over. Many people here have never had a child as old as your daughter. Just a suggestion. Have you ever tried to get her services? It sounds like she actually could not only use some but qualify for them, such as an assisted living apartment with help living on the premesis and somebody to help her at work (even if it makes her nervous). I am currently working on services for my son and I have heard of kids like your daughter getting a lot of really good help. You do not have to care for her until you die. And I'll bet s he'd like some independence, even if it isn't 100% independence. The Department of Workforce Services would help her get a job with an employer who understands in advance her special needs. Work coaches are even available. You just need to get out there and take her to the various places that help k ids like ours. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
