I just noticed that this catagory is 18 - 25. Does that mean that some parents are wanting advice on how to deal with issues with their children ages 18 to 25? I was 25 when my first child was born. My mother would have had absolutely no place asking for advice about me on a parenting forum.
I may have misinterpreted this, and it's very possible that I have. I have AS and while very well adjusted and only diagnosed with it in my 40's I am aware that at times I take things very literally.
So, I guess I'll ask if this is a place for those of us with kids in that age group (my oldest is 23) to talk about adjusting to the fact that they are grown, we are getting older, we have absolutely no say so over their lives anymore, etc, or are people thinking that 18 - 25 yo's need to still be being raised, etc?
ETA; Also, I would think that "young adult" would be something like 16-19 or something. Once you are able to sign up and go to a foreign country and killed, I'd imagine you are pretty much a full fledged adult. That happens at 18.
