Because of a learning disability and a lack of basic survival skills, our son (age 25) is still living with us. He's not mentally disabled -- he has his own car and bank account (we manage that for him) and a part time job. But he has no concept of basic stuff, like calling a person, leaving a message and then waiting for a reply. He'll call 10 times over the course of a day till they call back. Or give him $50 for the week and it vanishes in two days -- with no idea where it went.
Pook, we would be more helpful in answering your question if you have a diagnosis or some other descripter of your son's learning disability. I am reluctant to offer any advice that could do more harm than good.
