[quote=Anonymous]My "coddled" kid has autism and ADHD, diagnosed formally. He had/has accommodations in school and college. He will be burdened throughout life with his neurodivergence, specifically in terms of processing speed, forgetfulness and weak social skills. We assist him because we know that he needs to advance as far as possible with our help before he closes doors for himself. Because he WILL close doors for himself! That's a given. The later the better. In practice, it means, getting a high school diploma (check), getting a Bachelor's (in progress), maybe go to grad or law school and then get a stable job that will make him financially independent. At some point, we won't be able to help him professionally, but we may be able to help with a downpayment on a home, or something like that. All this to ensure that he can be financially independent after we're gone. [/quote]
