Hi Liz,
You are in this young man's corner as his mother. I think you going to work and being honest with him how the change is impacting your life as a family in its entirety is admirable.
As for his learning issues and your concerns, could you reach out for some college kids to hang out with him and work with him over the summer? Maybe contact the special ed program at a local college for some recommendations? I'd think you'd get a lot of time for less than $1,000 a month. I bet you could balance fun/online learning assistance so he is not alone all the time.
As for tech schools, some of them around me run some pretty awesome summer day camps.
What about hanging out with a friend once a week or so for part of a day? Can he bike anywhere to have a break from home (pool/park/library/tennis/bowling)?
As for his capabilities in the future, that isn't today's focus, is it?
Be well. Be a good example.
