[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 59985, member: 1550"] I can't speak for all kids on the spectrum. My son is 14 and he'll need some help as an adult, which I don't see a BAD thing. He is what he is, and he is a very different kind of person. He won't need total care--can maybe even live in his own apartment--but somebody will have to look in on him and help him manage money, etc. He'll likely need special placement for jobs. I'm fortunate that my oldest son is very bonded to him and will always look out for him, and he has other siblings. I don't feel I'm limiting my son, just being realistic. We are striving to make him as independent as possible, (he is getting a driver's license) however we don't want to make his life hell on earth for him by demanding total independence if it's too hard for him. He will always need some sort of help. [/QUOTE]
