Yes,@lisalucier, we do indeed have these homes. There is a long waiting list but my daughter finally got a place.

And yes, it is basically sink or swim. She takes her medicine pretty well, but the basic activities of daily living are almost more than she can handle.

While she is getting wound care treatment for lymphedema, she is not able to get home care services. Ridiculous.

She really should be in a group home or a nursing home. But we have to give this a try. She doesnt want that option.

We visit frequently and do what we can to help her. Hopefully she will get home health services when the wound care treatment is done.

My daughter is not on the Spectrum. But these apartments are available for all disabled individuals. Sometimes co-morbidities render an Autistic unable to meet their needs without some help.

Thankfully there is help available.

Love and light,
Mamacita Jane

My entire day is controlled via smart phone ever since phones could have near limitless alerts. Not sure what colorcode would do in my case. Alerts? they keep my day smooth. It is not like I can't be flexible and do different but during unfocused days caused by overstimulation, anxiety, stress etc. They remind me if I have time to stand round stunned or stimming, I can be *doing dishes, * pre-planning meal, *check the mail (that I fear), *check son's homework, * should I go to bed? (vs messing on computer ).... etc etc
