[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686595, member: 1550"] I would go to a neuropsycologist. A support group is just parents who have opinions but dont know how to help him. Forget psychiatrists and counselirs. They dont know enough. My son lives alone,works, makes decisions (some kind of silly) and is young for his age (22). Autistics mature late and tend to remain younger in heart, but many live alone and work and my own son is very happy. Seems he is never in a bad mood. He is content in his skin. I dont think seeing if your son is still open to interventions is anything but good. Autism is a s struggle, but it doesnt have to keep you from learning about life or being happy. My son is proof. He did not speak, potty or sleep until age five and he raged. We never dreamed he'd be the fine, nearly normal young man that everyone seems to love. Your son may be able to really improve as well. You will not get anywhere arguing with him. Best to go quiet and calm the storm. [/QUOTE]
