[QUOTE="momsad, post: 713837, member: 21973"] I also have a 19 year old son with high functioning autism and in a similar situation. He graduated from high school last year ~ which was great ~ but since then has not been able to get work or study (even online). He does not like any interaction with people and hardly comes out of his room except for food and to go into the back garden. After many months of back and forth, I recently set up a dentist appointment for him and gave him an ultimatum of going (even with me via bus/taxi) and pulling his weight around more. Sadly he has decided that he would prefer to be homeless and is gearing up to leave home next Monday and go on the road. I am devastated and heart broken and do not know what to do. Before he would not agree to anything like therapy or even a simple walk in the evening. So he has decided against any help or intervention and I don't know what will happen now. Do I give in so my son can continue to live here as-is or do I stick to my guns and risk losing my son? [/QUOTE]
