I was adopted (and therefore no relation to my parents).
My adoptive mother figured out I was autistic when I was about 13. She told my stepfather, and that was about it.
When I was 17 and just out of high school, they kicked me or, claiming tough love. I was never a "bad" kid, just different. I wish I could have stayed living at home, but my mother was constantly trying to change me, rather than help me.
Today, I've been homeless off and on for the last 18 years.
I get disability, but it's not enough to live in a rooming house. Most places that could help me require CORI checks, and I need to have mine sealed. Not sure how to do that.
The person who said they would just kick their child out and "not care if they were homeless" is disgusting. (Read: you remind me of my adoptive mother) That's cruel to put a person (ESPECIALLY YOUR OWN CHILD) on the street knowing they can't take care of themselves!
Didn't you read the OPs post? She said her child is rude, disrespectful, won't shower, won't clean up after himself, his room being a threat to the whole home which I assume is a health hazard, come on? I wouldn't want such a child in my home so they either clean up their act or move out and try and figure it out on their own. AS doesn't give you an excuses to be rude and disrespectful to other peoples property.

He smokes, in a home that is strictly no smoking, and drinks (during which he has broken things in the house that neither he nor I can repair) So the house is being torn up and not fixed, and it stinks - badly.
That is a good reason to kick your kid out, AS or not. To hell with their disability.
