[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 645692, member: 1550"] I'm also interested in what he was diagnosed with. Is he on the autism spectrum? I'm not sure there is anything you can do. My son is bright, but he is on the spectrum and we have guardianship over him. He is a very good kid, everyone loves him, but he lacks any impulse control when he wants something. He has stolen from us so we locked up our money. It was never large amounts and that made him HAVE to control his impulses. He lives alone now. He has never stolen anything from anyone else and has his own money now and disability plus a part time job. We still have guardianship over his money, but make sure he ha enough from his own funds. If we didn't have guardianship, he would spend his entire disability and paycheck as soon as he got it, due to his still impaired impulse control. If your son is remorseful, like mine was, and angry at himself for what he does, he may need your help controlling his impulses. It is unusual for anyone to get SSDI the first time so something must be different about your son. Perhaps you can get legal guardianship. My son likes us having it...and he is maturing. Aside from the money part, he probably won't need a guardian much longer. Just a payee for his money. [/QUOTE]
