[QUOTE="buddy, post: 570259, member: 12886"] DF, that is what I was thinking too.....and in that kind of setting there are not many who really care if while something is heavy a weird noise or nonsense phrase slips out. The horses for darn sure dont care. I like that idea DDD. People are worried about him being in a place where others could be affected by his behaviors (understandably) but that kind of thing would result in his really only being praised. The program that we initially signed up for is an overall concept as I've mentioned before where people with Autism work for their living quarters....in meaniungful jobs. In MN it is a city site but they do the therapy riding program so still need people to go care for the animals. In Montana they are building a full ranch. If he got to a place where we knew he would still have support services he needed, that kind of situation would be so good. If MN is where the best social services options are well, we have many horse and other animal ranches and as you guys said, there is always people looking for someone to do that kind of work. Not many people want to do it. The whole idea of earning money has really made him happy. He has said over and over how he got 8 dollars and 75 cents (no rounding off, lol) for his school job. He even asked about how he could get more jobs. And by the way, unlike money I have given him.....he is trying to save and plan for that money. Thanks for cheering him on with me. I said from the time he was really young, what I didn't realize might be one of the hardest things about single parenting is not having someone to share the good times with. I assumed it would be harder not to have someone back me up in the hard moments. But when he first finally got the pedals on the bike to go around and around I found myself standing there alone wishing so much I had someone to enjoy it with. Wish I knew you all back then. TeDo, since our boys actually do get along, it would be cool if they could work near each other. Your difficult child 1 is really having some stellar moments too! (well, difficult child 2's recent award is not anything to sneeze at either).....Its nice to have these things to as you have said....help to see there is some light in the tunnel. [/QUOTE]
