What Can I Do?

Is anyone in the same situation as myself and my husband?

I have two sons one aged 21 the other who has Aspergers is 20. My worry is what happens when my husband and I have died?

My sons live at home. In a 'normal' (whatever that is) situation most children have left the nest either through marriage or independence. When the parents die it's just a case of selling the house and splitting the proceeds. I can see my eldest either living with someone or married. But this would not happen with the youngest. So what happens? People, who don't have an autisic son, have suggested getting him sheltered housing now. He wouldn't understand why I've made him move when his brother is still at home. He cannot deal with people, his communication skills are non existant. Any suggestions?

  • I think maybe I have thought about it too soon. Your idea of waiting to see if/when my son leaves and then talking to him is a good one.

    He can be rather dramatic, and when I asked him what would he do when I have died he said I'll live on the streets. But is that him not being able to think sensibly is it part of the Aspergers'?
