[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704322, member: 1550"] All those diagnoses put together plus his inability to get a job and keep it or use common sense (because of his disability, not his own choice) is possibly more than enough to get disability. Autistic anything will get him on the radar. Your son is truly not doing these things because he is a bad person. He has serious problems that may even get him labeled cognitive disorder not otherwise specified. I have little problems too and a normal to high I Q and still have a secondary diagnosis of that because all together I struggled to keep jobs. Your son needs help, not discipline. Take him to somebody new for a diagnosis. One of your other kids is diagnosed with autism. He may have real autism too, not just traits. Autism is hereditary. Dont give up. Don't get a lawyer right away. Apply. We never needed a lawyer. See what happens first. Save your pennies unless he is turned down. Do show the Disability people his records from Residential. The more they have the more likely you are to get disability for him. He needs it. You may want to apply to be his payee too if he is unable to handle money. Less money for pot too, if you dole out his money. Hugs and sending warm vibes. [/QUOTE]
