[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 60135, member: 3893"] MWM - your kid sounds alot like mine in his strengths and weaknesses. M has anger issues though and I fear the thought of jail as much as homelessness and victimization. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with being semi-independent either if he'll be happy and well taken care of. That's what I worry about though, when I'm gone will he have the supports he needs and if he doesn't, will he know how to get them? Real help is not a phone call away. The procedures are endless. There's so many complex loopholes, it's virtually impossible to get through the red tape even for the average person. It requires the cognitive skills my son just doesn't have and might never have. I think this is at the forefront of every parent's mind who has an autistic child. Hopefully all the avocacy groups out there now will help further the funded resources for our kids. Marg - you're doing a great job with your bunch. Maybe I'll send mine your way and they can all help each other. Thanks to everyone who responded. Has anyone gotten government benefits for their kid yet? If they are in the system now, will it continue throughout their lifetime? Anyone know the laws? [/QUOTE]
