[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 761899, member: 23706"] My nephew has autism. When he wants a job, he goes to Workforce development near him and they help him get one. The workplace k ows he has a disability and many places hire him anyway, but they have a heads up. This works very well. Does your son get SSDI? My nephew does which makes time between jobs not an emergency. He also gets food share, Medicare/Medicaid and a case manager. The case manager helped him get into a fairly.nice apartment that only takes 1/3 of what he makes....and he has a payee pay his bills. This is all because of SSDI. This kid is 28 and independent from us. We are relieved because parents can't live forever but his other help does continue. My sis and her hub were his total guardians until 21 then he didn't want a guardian. He already was set with benefits. One thing you have to remember. The world is as it is even if your son and my nephew need more help. That means that both of them can and will be fired if the boss says so, just like the rest of us. We feel bad but the world offers the benefits that it offers and they get help that way. If your son doesn't take advantage of those benefits, then he loses out a big chunk of help. I don't know what is wrong with your son, but if the court says you could be his guardian, most likely he qualifies for SSDI and benefits too. There are some people who refuse to take benefits. Then they are on their own. This is how I understand it. I send prayers and hope that your son is able to get through this. Good for him for taking his medications!! [/QUOTE]
