What is considered to be "normal." ....?
What might be called abnormal or normal is totally dependent upon ones own inherent comfort level. That which is abnormal or normal, cannot truly be "considered". That which is abnormal or normal, can truly only be "witnessed and observed". ~~~~~ Abnormal is, as abnormal does. Normal is, as normal does. ~~~~~ That which is found to be neither abnormal or normal, would be found to be "Authentic". One might even call someone or something "Authentic", "The Real Deal". Have you ever witnessed or observed, someone or something "Authentic" or "The Real Deal"? Just curious..... Peace be always with you. in sha'Allah al-hamdu lillah Salaams,

Do children diagnosed with autism lead normal lives as adults?
There are generally two types of autistic: high functioning and low functioning. Low functioning autistic adults need constant care. They generally live at home with their parents or in residential facilities where their needs can be constantly addressed. For most of these individuals, the world is a far away place that they cannot reach. Group homes and residential facilities are rare and highly expensive so many low functioning autistic adults are taken care of by their families. On the other hand, high functioning autistic adults can be highly successful and lead relatively normal lives. They can work, support and care for themselves, and live on their own. This is not to say they do not face any problems. In fact, many high functioning autistic adults see their main problem as the way others perceive them. The ability of adults with autism to take care of themselves is often directly related to the need-based education they received as children. If properly taught social responses and accepted behaviors, autistic adults can function as contributing members of society. They can have families, careers, and social lives. However, the majority of even high-functioning autistic adults live at home or in residential facilities. In terms of employment, autistic adults usually are best suited to jobs that address their particular strengths. According to research, autistic adults generally have limited short-term memory, but excellent long-term memory compared to most people. In addition, there are support groups and services that help autistic adults take care of themselves. It is difficult to offer general advice for adults with autism because autism is a spectrum disorder. Some may need constant care, while others are brilliant and innovative thinkers. Each person with autism is profoundly different and requires different levels of help.
My 26 year old son doesn't want to work. Should I force him to move out of my apartment?
My son dropped out of college when he was 19. Since then, he has been living with me at home and doing nothing. He was, and still is playing video games all day long, and going out to parties at night. I pay for EVERYTHING: for his food, clothes, car, health insurance, and cell phone. My son turned 26 in April. I am 58 years old. He has never worked in his life. Now, I am telling my son that he must immediately get a job, or else I will throw him out of the house. He yells at me every day because he is too lazy to work. Recently, my son stole $400 from my credit card to buy video games online. Do I have to report this to the police? What can I do to make my son get a job? How much time should I give him to find a job, would 3 months be enough? After he starts working, should I make him live by himself, or just pay for his own food and expenses?
