He’s got it pretty mild. They leaned towards Asperger’s but also told us they did that to help us get disability which we never did. We need to see about doing that now as he’s 19 years old. Driving or having a job might be iffy but he’s awoken a little in the past few years so we’ll see.
Quiet, talks in a monotone and you have to talk slow and clear or things go over his head. Clumsy. Our goal right now is to get him so he can take care of himself in a household, cook, clean, shopping etc. Of course shopping means driving or getting a ride here. Rural, no public transportation and I wouldn’t want him living where there is public trans. We’re hoping his sister will watch over him. Going to build a second house here and when we’re gone, they can each have one and no payments to make.
Has he demonstrated any areas of technical interest or skills? I know of a few that have Asperger’s, and they excel in certain areas given the ‘ability’ to tune out the world. Also young adult males aren’t the best at communication — perhaps that’s compounding things.
Good planning regarding the second home.
