[quote=Anonymous]I have a college freshman with autism and ADHD. He (and I) been working hard all his childhood to overcome LDs and communication issues, to get to college! So when things don't go right, yes, I try to advise him, issue reminders, and point out options he might not have thought of. And yes, I do worry, because unlike most young adults, his issues aren't merely due to immaturity - they're lifelong and have to do with executive function and lack of social understanding. His troubles will always be a big deal to me. But that doesn't mean I can't be happy in my own life, OP! I guess I've learned to compartmentalize over 18 years.[/quote]
