[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 193593, member: 1550"] I'm not 100% sure yet of his future. I think he can live alone or with one other person (but it's becoming clearer that he can probably live alone--he takes good care of his room, can cook, understands that you have to go to work, etc.) I'm not sure what kind of job he'll be able to do yet. We're trying to find something he enjoys, maybe computers. Since even two years ago I thought he'd be in assisted living and working at a place for disabled adults, we've come far. I think we probably won't know with him until older--until perhaps he is 25. I hope he can marry...social problems are the biggest problem with kids high up on the spectrum, but some do marry. That's why we are now working on social skills. Son has shown a lot of motivation to make friends and he HAS friends at school. He just needs to learn how to reach out. I feel very hopeful. [/QUOTE]
