Parents excuses of lack of parenting?

I know a few people who have kids with different disorders: autism, asphergers, and the list goes on. I met them all, and their parents make excuses of why they can't do anything. They are fully capable of working, going to school, and handling themselves. Those who have children like this tend to be lazy, and let the kids do as they please before they have tantrums. A girl at the shelter her 17 year old can't hold a job, my parents would beat me into next week not let her sit at home on the internet and play games meeting boys all day. She is fully capable of doing anything, but comes back to not forcing her. I have met some who make their kids work through it, and this causes no issues.
I was in a seminar a few months ago and this doctor said just that. It's an excuses for bad parenting, and not having control of your kids.

I think the problem is that people who have children with learning difficulties are so worried about upsetting their children that they don't try and push them to do the things they can do and that is a shame. Children need discipline and encouragement no matter what disorders they have x

I think your absolutely right. They want to be more a friend than a parents to them.

Where I used to live we had three agencies for adult disabled and the schools are very good for students with various disabilities and they all work or want to work. It sometimes takes time to find a job, but they have many abilities.

I completely agree. We have some programs here (and many you see in it are in wheelchairs, and further disabilities). I know at least 5 places who hire them, and work with them. But anyone I have met who claim to have autism, and asphergers are capable of holding a job. It comes back to the parents, and lack of handling them. This one girl worked at a place 3 days and left then couldn't find a job yet can sit at home online all day, skip school, and sleep around with boys but can't hold a job. Her Mom who I know was making excuses for her, and in the end the child will learn nothing, and will depend on her even more due to laziness.
