@larak Have you ever spoken with your state or national representatives? I thought they were supposed to help.

@becsbuddy I have spoken with my Senator in our State Legislature.

It hasn't resulted in a meeting with the right people yet, but a referral to the right people was put in with Constituent Services.

I have a few Dept of Ed and Office of Aging & Disability grievances to file, just to make sure those right people know I'm not going away.

One blessing is that my experiences with my daughter's care have helped others. I've learned so much about the system that I can tell other autism parents what services they should be getting and who to ask.

My daughter's case manager wants to hire me ! 😂
