[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar kid as well, OP. The feelings from watching their peers do normal life things are really hard and isolating. I eventually found other parents like me in an online group and it helped to have a place I could talk about it. I also avoided many of my friends during this time because they were understandably excited about their kids’ futures, but I couldn’t handle those conversations.

My DC barely made it through high school due to anxiety/depression, spent a lot of that time in residential treatment and intensive outpatient programs. Then started with just two classes a semester in community college and worked a part time job. They slowly added credits until they were taking a full load and after a few years finished their AA degree and transferred to a 4 year college. Not a college I would have expected years ago, but a supportive school that’s not too far away so we are able to keep close tabs on their mental health. It’s working. There are many paths to adulthood and no deadlines. You and your DS will find the path that works for him. [/quote]
