Chicory--I went on line looking for help in OHIO. I suggest that you contact the
Ohio Dept. of Developmental Disabilities
and
The Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council
There is also a published handbook of services for developmental disabilities that one of them publishes.
I think if you keep your quiries to the category of developmental disabilities (of some kind?)--it throws open a wider door for help than to just mention alcoholism or anxiety/depression. Tell them that there is something wrong since birth and you need help!
He might even qualify for residential care if he gets a diagnosis!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chicory--knowledge is power. Often people never get the help that is out there because they don't know where to go to get or identify the help.
I think you will have to be prepared to do a lot of calling and knocking on doors---and resist as much as you possibly can--of being discouraged.
There are also support groups for you---but, it sure does help to get that diagnosis, first.
You can find info. on the organizations that I listed by doing a simple google search.
This would be a starting point.
I hope that this is of some help to you, Chicory.
