[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 745370, member: 1550"] The doctor is a quack. This son runs away and may take care of himself in a dysfunctional way but he does so. He socializes, eats, finds places to sleep and goes to the bathroom himself. He can talk, walk and is able bodied. He may not try hard in school but passed some classes. Never being able to take care of yourself means either severely low maybe infant IQ or physically unable to do things for yourself. And many in wheel chairs live on their own! My autistic son takes care of himself. He lives on his own. Get this poor boy out of there before this nutty doctor convinces you that he cant tie his own shoes and has a smiley face imprinted on his brain. I would be gone, kid in tow. Not all doctors are equally educated/skilled/competent. Sometimes "help" of the wrong kind makes one worse and it isnt free bad help! You can go broke for the bad help. This is a nightmare. Sounds to me like a ploy to indeed keep him there until 18 for the money not the need. Send him to chef school. He is not helpless. [/QUOTE]
