[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 262164, member: 84"] Fran, wow......I've had that thought many times over the past several years. Sad, but true. I think that is somewhat why I won't push Travis when he's stubborn about applying for disability. It's not about pride.....I still want him to be able to believe that at some point he'll be able to earn enough money to support himself. I'm afraid that once he truly concedes that he will give up on himself. With my original reply......the jest of what I was attempting to say...was that while other male family members are on the spectrum and functioning fairly well, their autism is not "cured". Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. husband's cousin, for example, happens to be an extremely interesting person to go to should you need any info on the civil war. He can give you details that are amazing and left out of history books because they're thought of as trivial. I worry Travis will never reach independence. I keep hoping and praying, but yeah. That's my fear. I don't see it happening at this point, or in the near future. For all I've pushed and guided......while there has been much improvement.....we seem to have hit a brick wall we can't get around. And his other dxes only complicate the issue further. [/QUOTE]
