18 Year Old Daughter with Some Disibilities Out of Control

If she has an IEP at school, they should have had a transition plan for her when she turned 18. Vocational Rehabilitation and services to help her become independent, maybe even a group home to live in. I would ask the folks at her school about that. Is the reason she demands things due to her disability? Can she distinguish between needs and wants? If she is 18, you may need to have papers drawn up for guardianship, or else she can get herself into all kinds of financial and legal problems, and you have no power to stop her since she is 18.

R., Are you connected with local MR/DD services? I can't imagine that you are not, but perhaps you are not taking full advantage of what is out there. I'd imagine you are overwhelmed, but there are services that can help. You may need respite so you can get a break, your daughter may need some behavioral therapry to learn how to better cope, and there may come a time when you want to consider a group home setting so she can be more independent.

Maybe the problem is that you keep buying her everything? How have you been disciplining her all these years? Any consequences for poor behavior? What have been your expectations of her? She's been effectively your child for the past 15 years and you say her dad is no help. She's 18 now - she's an adult and legally can live on her own, get a job, and support herself unless her unspecified "disabilities" prevent her from doing so.

Have you considered family counseling?

whats the question? shes 18 time to kick her out. you say she has disabilities, what kind? she sounds like a normal teen to me...
