[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 551472, member: 11791"] MWM? I have extended family members who have been in Sonic's shoes for... 40+ years. Downs, MR, etc. - the stuff that's been recognized as "disability" for much longer. One of them actually drives... but can't keep track of the bills, needs help getting going in a job, planning for meals (usually takes a restaurant job and gets main meal there as part of pay)... all with the kinds of supports you are listing. I think it's great that they are now doing the same things for high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (here too)... if we could just get MH/MI issues to that same level it would help! The challenge with MH/MI issues is that they are already a "negative label", and needing "assisitance" is another "negative label"... and it snowballs. [/QUOTE]
