[QUOTE="momsad, post: 713926, member: 21973"] Thank you all so much for your replies as well as kind and informative words. My son was in a much better place this morning so he was more receptive to my other choices and eventually agreed to one, so is no longer leaving home for now. Yes he is a very black and white thinker too and his default solution is always to shut down or flee. I was up all night thinking and worrying and crying and am now just so relieved. Thank you I will definitely look into disability benefits. He is still not receptive to any kind of help or therapy or medication. I already know that if he had left to be homeless that he would never ask anyone for help/shelters/food as his goal is to avoid human interaction no matter what. When he was younger (6-10 approx.) it was easy to get him to md and psy appts but every year since then it's been progressively harder as his will and ability to avoid any type of interaction has grown. Whether it's the doctor or the receptionist or anyone else along the way. I've had many 'baby steps' plans for social skills and interaction and they usually start off well, then one day he just shuts down and it's back to square one again. But now I am just happy that he is not leaving home for now and I can breathe again and check out disability benefits and get back into 'baby steps'. [/QUOTE]
