[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633540, member: 1550"] Sounds like he needs an evaluation and may need disability and the services that come with it. Adults can get services too. If he is on the spectrum, through no fault of his own, he may not be able to totally make it alone, but he can become indepdent from you with adult supports. Contact your local aging and disabilities. That's what I did, but I did it while Sonic was in high school to get him ready for adulthood. It's not too late to start doing it now. He can live a pretty normal life, but not at your house without services. He will never experience real life if you don't get other people to help him so he can move out, have help finding a job, and get him other supports. My son has made amazing progrss, far beyond what anyone ever expected a nd he is on the spectrum.You can not expect your son to act like other young adults if he has that particular disability. He is different and, unlike most young adults,you will have to get him the help he needs. He is develomentally delayed. He thinks different than other people. Aging and Disabilities...every county has one. That's what you need. That's the "go to" place. [/QUOTE]
