Mindy offers up some very great advice.  Here are the 5 takeaways from the show:
1. Forgive yourself for being human
2. For a challenging child who is emotionally and socially delayed, keep them in school until age 21 if possible.
3. While living at home, boundaries and structure are critical.  “Job, school, volunteer - pick one” was her rule
4. Is it a “you” issue or a “them” issue?  Manage your expectations as a parent and meet your kid where he/she/they are rather than putting your generalized expectations on a child who will not benefit from what you perceive as “the right path”
5. Respond not react (stay out of the unholy trinity)
