[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a special needs kid, I have to admit that I wonder about this.  Everybody loves to talk about the SP kid that went on to do great things.  Fine, I'm happy for them.  But is this typical or is it rare?  I've never seen data showing the distribution of how these things end up.  A few feel good stories doesn't make me think all is going to be okay for my kid.  I wish I knew what typically happens to these kids.[/quote]

Totally agree. I have a dc with anxiety, adhd and learning disabilities and already he plans on living with us forever. I keep telling him he is going to have to work but I can't imagine him in a career.  I had a cousin (would be about 65 if he were still alive).  If born today, he probably would be classified as HFA but he never got help for his "issues."  He bounced around a lot of jobs and then found a small pharmacist owned drug store and got a job there. He was the delivery person and did various other tasks. The owner really looked out for him and would call relatives if there was a problem.  I was a child at the time but now I realize just how special that store owner was to take my cousin under his wing.[/quote]
