So very sorry to hear about your son. You too have your hands full at the moment. You are the best person to help your friend. What a support system she has in you. I hope you get everything sorted.@Debandez you are very kind to help your brother-in-law and I'm glad he's doing better. I know what you mean about red tape - unless you've experienced it, most people don't know how bureaucracy unnecessarily complicates the lives of people with disabilities. (My late son was severely disabled and that made it so much harder than necessary). Tomorrow I have another meeting in a series about my best friend's son - she has 2 adult sons with autism, both also intellectually disabled. The son who is very severely disabled and nonverbal (like my late son) lives in a group home but her more moderately disabled son still lives at home and attends day programs (unable to work) . These meetings are planning with the government so he can get a good residential placement when they can no longer care for him (she has many health issues and is older).
