[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 656401, member: 15832"] Hi there. I agree with everything SOT said. My son has a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD), and i believe it is the root of all his problems with anxiety, depression, addiction, and relating to other people. His inabiliy to hold a job may be due to his disability. People with this learning disability can have a hard time following multistep directions, and need more time to learn the job as their processing speed is slower. He may be lazy, but he has other issues going on which make it very discouraging for him. If you can get him to a neuropsychologist and get him retested, maybe you can apply for Social Security for him. If he is declared disabled by the feds, he is eligible for medicaid, case management, and the above mentioned vocational services Support groups and a therapist of your own can be helpful in setting boundaries with your son. Try Families Anonymous. I think you should post on the Parents Emeritus thread as we have much experience in dealing with our wayward adult kids. [/QUOTE]
