[quote=Anonymous]My autistic, severely ADHD, learning disabled and low processing 20 year old son is able to live independently. So... even though your SIL appears to have the same sort of mental health challenges and learning disorders (and she should really be evaluated for those!!!), it doesn't mean she cannot live on her own. However, it took many years of ramping up independence for my son to be able to live in a shared apartment situation on his college campus. It did not happen overnight, and I had to hold his hand and spoonfeed him all the instructions on how to do EVERYTHING. This went on for YEARS. It was a TON OF WORK. For me. She's not going to learn this by herself, with her obvious autism and ADHD. Someone needs to help/force her into it. [/quote]
