[quote=Anonymous]OP - Will your son be able to receive a standard high school diploma as that is a clear benchmark on opportunities. I second the idea of contacting the area vocational rehabilitation agency to see what kinds of testing and evaluations are available to perhaps pinpoint what employment options are there which are suited to you DS's interests and abilities. In Rockville there is a one-year transition program called MOST, run by the Jewish Group Home Foundation. I am not sure your son would fit the profile of the young adult served, but the staff there might be willing to share some other ideas for exploration. I would also recommend getting your son involved in some sort of volunteer work where he might be able to explore and interest, but most importantly gain some "soft work skills" which are so essential in the workplace. He might also gain a valuable non-family/non-school recommendation.[/quote]
