[quote=Anonymous]I know 4 adults well who have severe disabilities along the lines OP is talking about. 1 is ADD/Dyslexic and the other 3 are bi-polar. They all have college degrees (2 have master's). All of them have done a lot of job-hopping, 2 live with relatives (and always will). The two most "successful" are married with spouses who have stable jobs that provide good insurance and a steady income. The two who are married would certainly be living at home (or with a family member) if they did not have spouses who provided support, structure, and health ins. for steady meds. I would consider all four of my friends/family successful in their own context. 2 would be considered successful by any standards. The two who live with family may not be considered successful by all, but they pay rent, buy their own food, pay their own expenses, are usually employed, all while struggling with a severe disability. In my eyes, they are doing great. [/quote]
