Years ago when our oldest son rode the little yellow bus to school we had the same concern about what will happen to him when we aren't alive to care for his needs. With that concern we spent our time helping him get to where he could function & get a job he was capable of doing.
From that he was able to improve & now at age 55 he owns his own condo, has a retirement portfolio that puts capable people to shame. Our early fear of what will happen is no more. We recognized & early on did what we thought would help him.
He has two brothers that would have watched out for him but that isn't necessary. As parents that didn't have the kind of government support systems that are in place now we are happy we dedicated our selves to doing what he needed.

How Wonderful for your son and family, I’ve been trying to get her government help since she was 18. She’s 35 now about 3 years ago she finally did get assistance. When she was first diagnosed I was told she would be Unemployable, I was Devastated, I refused to accept this. She has been working since she was 16. I kept working with her since. I have to admit I was protective of her at times. My youngest daughter had the same disability not as severe. Last year obtained her Bachelors Degree. So I’ve learned to Never give up. Thank you for a successful story, I m sure he has nothing but continued Sucess in the Future
