[QUOTE="Fran, post: 261818, member: 3"] WFEN, some of our kids do manage to function and have a life. The idea that my difficult child would be a college professor or even a full time employee is so out of our world that I can't even relate. Being a spectrum disorder, I know some kids function in the world with support but at this point I have very little evidence that this is true with my son. I haven't given up on him but I am realistic and tell myself the truth in what I see difficult child can do. No one has nudged their child out of his comfort zone more than I but I can not force him to do what he can not. WFEN, keep hoping that the steps you take get difficult child a little further every year, or every 5 yrs or even every 10 yrs. I know that feeling of seeing what they can do and realizing it isn't enough yet. Daisylover, I have family who have AS quirks or poor social skills but they all made it through college and held jobs, had families and had a life. None were anything like my difficult child.
