My husband and I had a hearing on Wednesday where we were awarded guardianship of our 18-year-old son. I've posted before that he has autism. Our son attended, and his attorney made him her "co-counsel". We were lucky to get someone who was competent and did her job well!
Although I know we did the right thing, it's just very odd hearing someone say that your child "lacks sufficient capacity" to make major life decisions.
Getting guardianship, I think, will also help us in applying for benefits such as SSI for our son, and also for vocational rehab. After our son graduates, he will go into a vocational program through the public school system. That will last until he's 22. After that, well, we'll just have to see. :)
