What happens when the child grows up?
This blog focuses on adults with autism, supported living and the day to day challenges faced by families.
This is the real deal....nothing sugar coated. We need an Olympic village!

One night during the holidays, Lauren's personal support person texted me and asked, "How do I turn the Christmas tree lights off"? I replied, "pull the electrical plug out of the wall". She replied, "ok, I will try that". Did you think this was a joke? Keeping it real, Donna
One evening, I "called", Lauren on her Facebook Portal. I texted her aide to let her know that I would be calling before I called. Lauren "answered" and we talked and sang some Christmas carols. In the kitchen, I could see her aide brushing her teeth. She was also talking to me while brushing! Should there be a designated sink area for staff teeth brushing or is walking around the kitchen just fine?
