[QUOTE="Steely, post: 54496, member: 3301"] Welcome kaf, I am so glad you found our board, and were able to figure out the navigation of it all! [img]:smile:[/img] I do not have a lot of experience with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), but I do know how difficult it is raising a troubled child, and I am so sorry you are going through all of this. I agree with MidWest mom, you have to tailor your expectations to fit his capablites. I am certain he is able to hold some sort of job, but possibly he needs some help from a local organization that specializes in helping disabled people obtain an education, and/or employment. I also wonder about his brain injury from the gun incident. Has he had any further Neuro testing since the accident to see if there was permanent damage? I know I had a friend that was challenged with severe ADD, and she had a major car accident that caused brain trauma. After the accident she became even more mentally disabled, and could barely hold a thought in her head. Just wondering if the swelling in the brain could have exacerbated his condition. Again, welcome - [/QUOTE]
