[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to my world. My 2E ADHD/ASD/etc kid is 21 and he blew his chances at finding an internship this summer. He literally forgot to check his email for a week, and did not respond to an offer for an interview. While he's worked and improved on a lot of issues, he still has so many.

It's a long, hard, road, OP. I have episodes of leaning in, then pulling back, because I need to take care of my own health. My blood pressure rises to deeply unhealthy levels when I have to deal with his problems... however, the goal is financial independence for him, which means not presenting like a clown, acceptable personal hygiene, a minimum of social skills, and you know... checking his bloody email!

Big hugs, OP. It's in your interest to not have a failure-to-launch kid. This is what I'm trying to avoid.

Thank you. I will keep this in mind. He was SUCH an amazing promising younger kid and everyone expcted hi to be the most successful. At this point with his grades we are looking at community college.[/quote]

My ADHD/ASD son is going to go to community college and there is nothing wrong with that. Please consider who your audience is in this forum. You're coming off and less and less sympathetic. [/quote]
