[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 684049, member: 11791"] And there aren't many resources out there to help you figure it out either. :cry: The problem is, whatever approach you take has a 50-50 chance of back-firing. We are in the same 50-50 situation right now (different parameters). For example, you could look into qualifying him for disability, and figure out what resources are available to him - group home, for example, and give him the option of getting off his tush and start taking responsibility, or being flagged as disabled and moving into an adult group home next year. If that would motivate him, you win and so does he. But... he may decide that being disabled and living in a group home is just fine with him. In which case you both lose. Why does parenting have to be so doggone difficult! [/QUOTE]
