My Son Is Turning 17 Soon And I Know That When He Is 18 I Must Do Something To Continue To Make The Medical Decisions For Him.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?

Power Of Attorney
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

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
