[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 712607, member: 1233"] Hi and Welcome! We might as a moderator to move this to the Parents Emeritus or General forum where you would get more responses. This section is sometimes a little slower. I know you are scared for his future, but it can be a bright and wonderful place. My son is 25 and he has Asperger's. He talks to himself because then he knows he will get an answer that makes at least some sense. "You just never know what nonsense will come out of someone else's mouth Mom. Look what Jess says!" (Can you tell we have had this discussion more than a few times?) At the current time, my son works full time as a department manager at a local grocery store. He is well known and liked there. He has his own apartment and a decent social life. He has rebuilt his relationships with his siblings and is a sweet and loving son. It took a lot of hard work to get to this point, but it was well worth it. Your son may need some help, but that is okay. Not all of it comes from pills. The help that does come from pills can be done with more input from him, so he feels he is in more control. For some types of medication there are dna tests to tell yo which medications are most likely to work. That can be incredibly helpful. That is mostly for antidepressants, I believe, but it is helpful. I think many autistics often cops with minimal amounts of medication. My son does need medication. He feels more like himself on his medication, but we worked together to find the right combination for him. [/QUOTE]
