[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 357725, member: 1550"] I hope it works out for us too, Marg. I'm not sure our disability agencies are as good as yours. In fact, there is only one and it gets mixed reviews. I can not see L. ever getting married. He has no interest in that and says he wants to live alone with a big dog...lol. He isn't going to be allowed to go to school until 21 as he is too high functioning. Plus he doesn't want to. I don't think Lucas will get a computer job. There are hardly any jobs now and they can hire somebody with better social skills. Plus he would need a lot of supervision. We're going to tap the Department of Vocational Rehab. They are used to spectrum adults. I'm surprised you have a lot of spectrum kids in drama. L. would NEVER do drama. He hates being on stage and gets very nervous even singing in the choir. He has a gorgeous voice, but doesn't want to get into competitive choir next year. Regular choir was mandatory the last two years and he got nervous before each show even with twenty other kids on stage with him. Gentle pressure from us and even pleading from the choir leader (because he's so good) has not made him willing to do competitive next year. And at his age it's up to him, not us. They won't force him to try it at school. Back to drama, L. would have NO idea how to act out a part in a play. He does not understand other people enough to portray one. I don't think a hundred people could drag him on stage...he has no interest in drama anyway (sigh). I do hope L. eventually catches up a little bit. L. has also been forced to do things all his life. He did volunteer and play sports, but it hasn't stopped him from not feeling comfortable at all around new people and/or new situations. We'll just have to see. Thanks all for responding. [/QUOTE]
