Does anyone in the Orlando area know where I can go for resources to help parents of adults with Autism.

My son 18 years old and need help with filing garadianship
I know I have a year before this happens but I want to make sure he receives help. I know he has to get Social Security to be able to afford his medicines. I just want to make the transition as smooth as possible for him. He will have one more year of school left when we return home from Germany. Also how far to we need to see for a group home for him?

I applied for and got guardianship for my granddaughter and got a copy.
My only issues I told them I really am concerned about is the have I started conservatorship/Guardianship I did talk with a lawyer, and I believe a financial planner for special needs community. financial planner was like you may want to think about some things we don't own a house and I don't have any assets I let his teachers know as well and then I don't have that type of money to shell out for that. I will think about again

My son is 19, he has aspergers. We live in Maine. He owns his own business. He often takes deposits with no understanding of the importance of using the money for its designated purpose. We're running out of money to cover his poor judgement. We would like Power of Attorney
