[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are in my family.[/quote]

This was my post.  The ones in my family are perfectly intelligent and can care for themselves but they can't hold a job, are supported by relatives, spend all their time on the computer, no friends.  This may seem like an exemplary life if your DC has Kanner autism and is nonverbal and I agree that this isn't as bad.  But its pretty damn bad.  I wish you would stop with these -- if they can talk and hold jobs, they are fine -- posts.  The things that are important to most of us, friends, family, jobs that really challenge us, are beyond these folks.[/quote]

You talk in circles...you say your family members can take care of themselves, but then you say they are supported.  If they are supported, then they are not independent, fully functioning adults, are they?  You can't seem to commit to saying that your brothers are really not high functioning at all, even though they can talk.  Your brothers are autistic...I get it!!!  I'm not disagreeing with you.  If your brothers were holding jobs, married and have children, I'd be disagreeing with you.[/quote]
