[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 762929, member: 1550"] You have to find the supports. The system won't. First gave hin apply for DisBility. That alone helps. His then case manager can look for a living situation for him but often parents have to look around for tjose too. Subsidized living k ly costs 1/3 of a person's income even if his k ly income is his Disability. It covers all utilities abd the adult gets Medicare abs Medicaid at no cost. If your son won't take his medications he is u likely to be successful in your home. Do you k ow if hid birthmother drank or took drugs (it is usuly both). Most kids in the U.S. foster care system are alcohol affected which shows mostly as an intellectual deficit (mild) but I fluency ability to reason, memory and even understanding right from wrong. It is devastating abd too often overlooked. These adults need high levels of care and often become addicted to. Some are small with elf like ears abd wide spaced eyes. Some look like any other kid. All are not at fault but are treated as if they are. I'm not sure of the interventions. Hope this helps. I'd you can get him to see a NeuroPsychologist which is NOT the same as either Neurologist or Psychologist...that is best for fi did fetal alcohol spectrum problems. [/QUOTE]
