((((((((((((( AAAAA ))))))))))))))) Please don't be so down on yourself here. I'm sure you did what you thought was best for your son throughout his life and that's all any parent can do right?

I don't know where you live in the midwest and I'm not sure what is available for services out there, but I wonder if there any agencies that would help your son prepare for the workforce? How about contacting your local state unemployement agency to see if they offer help with preparing folks in how to produce resumes, how to talk and act at an interview etc etc?

I know when I've worked with a few disabled folks it helped to bring them for a tour of a possible employer so they knew how the place looked, who they would be talking to during their interview and explaining what the business does. It also helps for them to see someone else who is doing the job that they are applying for so they have a better understanding of what it entails.

Advocating for your son is a huge thing and can be so difficult. But your heart and soul are in the right place. If you wish, you can pm me and I can help you with some research if you like.

I wish you both well!
