If you want, there is always the idea of a group home.  You might want to 
think of going to one till your home making and mobility skills can be 
brought up a little and then you might want to consider going out on your 
own.  Trying new things is always scary at first but you have to be willing 
to overcome whatever fear you might have at first.  Whatever you choose you 
would never be wasting the counselors time.  Finding the best solutions for 
consumers is what they get paid for after all.  Don't worry, and let them 
doo their job.
