My mother has advanced MS, and has been fully supported for decades by my father.

One of my aunts is physically and mentally handicapped, and is supported by her country of residence (not the US).

One of my nephews has untreated Asperger's, anxiety and other disorders (untreated meaning no therapy, no meds and no recognition of his many struggles and needs), and has dropped out of college and lives off his father, playing video games all day.

There is no treatment or cure for Asperger's.  When kids are little they can do ABA, but generally it is not for adults.[/quote]

I am well aware of this. But certain aspects of it can be examined and talked about with a professional, particularly the social training, even for adults. And my nephew desperately needs therapy and meds for his anxiety and inability to sleep.

Its a bit late for social training.  [/quote]

No, it's not. Lots of grown adults with Asperger's learn social interaction by rules and scripting.  They analyse it.  You can teach it, just like any other subject. [/quote]
