[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 522665, member: 1550"] Thanks to all!!! Two years ago we sent Sonic to Driver's Ed because driving is so important in our society, especially out here where you have to take cabs if you don't drive. He took the class, failed the temps test once and never wanted to try again at all...said he was afraid to drive. Now he's not.Obviously...lol! We will try to help him study for his temps. At 18 he doesn't need to go through drivers ed again (expensive). I suspect when he gets his license (and it will take a while for him to pass the test), he will not wish to drive in snow or rain. Even if he does, frankly I've ended up in ditches too and so have my other kids. He is not interested in college at all and, since there is no age limit to going to school, nobody is going to push it. He has no interest in living in a dorm and is tired of school. I am going to respect that. I may encourage him to try an online class, but he has to figure out what he is interested in first. His obsessive Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) interests are not marketable. He is immensely obsessed with Sonic and Mario Brothers and even has a notebook naming each game and ch aracter that ever came out and when, but that won't get him a job. He is not particularly obsessed with computers, although that would be something he may be interested in. He did say "It's too hard." Maybe he needs to take an online class to see that he can do it. He always seems to be able to do anything he is challenged with. [/QUOTE]
