[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The behavior piece is most likely going to limit his options in a private placement.Does he have a psychiatrist overseeing his case with experience with such a complex case of autism and emotional disturbance? He needs a prescribing physician or at least one to consult to see if medication may need to be changed to stabilize him. 
Looking at state benefits, Mom needs to get a disability lawyer/ advocate to present his case as an emergency for a full 24/7 Medicaid Waivet slot.  This funding ought to help Mom
find a placement in a residential group home placement in his state if it exists? If not then 
to use it for in/home staffing with the family 
Providing some additional incentives. No place needs to keep a person  iewed as a danger to others.  [/quote]

I really hate responses like this. I’m referring to the last part where you say “no place has to keep a person viewed as a danger to others”. Yet, the mom has to continue being beat up and kept in harms way because she is the mom. This is a 20 year old adult man who could seriously hurt her.

The mom does not. She can call the police and have him removed and then refuse to take him back. I know this is a sucky answer - trust me, I had to do it. But it is an option.

Good luck to your friend’s family, OP. I have no answers - we went the psych hospital and court route but were able to bring my son back home eventually.[/quote]
