[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643336, member: 1550"] Lil, I know I've asked before (or think I have), but has your son ever been evaluated for possible Aspergers? He seems to really lack basic skills that most adults his age just instinctively have and it may not be his fault. However, he can learn them. My autistic son can take care of business, consolidate, get up on time for work, etc. It wouldn't be the end of the world, but it could be an explanation. Of course, the drugs don't help. I was a very disorganized young adult and I learned from it. I had to be more diligent about packing, getting my stuff, etc. I lost a lot of valuables in the meatime and my parents did not care or pay for anything I lost nor did my first husband. He derided me. I learned how to be fairly good at remembering my thngs because I had no choice but to learn and I'm glad I did. Keep your chin up. You and Jabby are doing the best you can in the way you were raised. Your son will learn from his mishaps if you let him. I would not replace the things he loses. I had little common sense at your son's age, but I had to learn to have some...lol. So does he. And he will. But you have to let him learn there are consequences to forgetting his stuff and that he is capable of brainstorming on his own and handling things himself. Hugs and find peace and harmony today. You both can do this! [/QUOTE]
