My son was certified for adult disability benefits!

When I got mail from Social Security, I thought for a whole second that my oldest son’s adulthood disability determination was going to continue to take forever and that the state of Texas would just drag their asses.

Come to find out that my baby remains eligible for SSI and survivor’s benefits into adulthood!

I am so thankful for him to continue to have the tools he needs to be as successful as he can be. I love this.

I wish I had known these much sooner, but…

My mother continuously refused to consent to autism and ADHD testing when my elementary school repeatedly requested that of her. She made it clear that she was never going to consent to testing and they eventually gave up trying to get her to. She would then follow that up by not taking me to any more well visits, only taking me to two dental visits my entire childhood, refusing to consent to treatment the second and last time I was there, and refusing to consent to immunizations that I did not need for her to finally foist me off onto the public school system so that she had to spend less time at home with me… and even still, she managed to get several nastygrams sent to her prompting her to consent to those few. I’m glad she’s gone.
