[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589088, member: 1550"] Hi there. Again so sorry for what you have gone through and are going through, but I agree with the others. You need to detach for both your sakes and son needs to learn to live on his own. None of us can be around forever. We need to help even our sickest kids learn to live without our support. I'm wondering if you son receives disability payments? If so, he should also qualify for food stamps, Medicaid and Section 8 housing and there is special housing for people with disabilities. Some are apartments if he can live alone. My son is Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and that is our plan for him and he's really excited about getting his own place. He also has a job in a sheltered workshop and his caseworker is going to help him get a regular job soon. He's nineteen. I believe all these options are available to anyone who applies for and receives disability. Our Sec. 8 housing for adults with disability live in nice apartments where the caseworker visits a few times a week. They are not stuck in bad neighborhoods. It probably depends on where you live. Keep us posted on what happens. [/QUOTE]
