[QUOTE="judi, post: 39656, member: 148"] In the end, as an adult, DDD hit the nail on the head. It doesn't matter what initials you have been diagnosed with, your ability to integrate into society: hold a job, make contributions to society, have a family and/or longstanding relationship. These are the only goals most of us with older kids want anymore. Getting them to go to therapy, be respectful to us are much farther out goals - some achieve them, others do not. At this point, my son is almost 22, he has a beautiful son himself (5 1/2 monthts). However, he is minimally involved with this little boy, has no job, lives with folks who are shady at best, etc... My point to this is that we all have had great expectations for our kids, some of these can be met, some can't. [/QUOTE]
