and I've found my perfect Canadian City for me to do so, since I do live in Canada. Victoria, BC. Before my Parents were in Las Vegas, last week, I was wondering what was making me so grumpy. Than I've felt completley at ease, when it was just me and Chico in the house, for five days. Than not even a week after my Parents have come back, I'm feeling all worked up, again. I don't like some of the treatment that I get at home. I've made an important step, my mailing forms and request letters to BC Housing. I'm worried that I'll be on a Wait List, for at least three years, and that my Parents will never change their actions towards me. I'm sick of being treated like I'm Special Needs, just because I bear an old HFA Label, that I've recieved at the age of Five. I do NOT see myself as Special Needs and I've been told at one point, that I've defeated the purpose of being "Special". I was just rebelling against everbody's view point of me. Something that I do, very well, hence my Username. I do not act Mentally Challenged. I feel that Victoria would be the perfect Canadian City for me to be living on The Edge in. I can sleep in random spots along the Sidewalks durring the Nights and I can sneak into Buchard Gardens, on the days that they do sheduled Double Decker Tours, so I could have a gander at at least a couple of Routemasters on each of those days. They have Routemasters in Victoria, and they use the enclosed ones for the Tours that they do through Buchard Gardens. This isn't funny. I'm having a really rough time, right now.
It is awful to sleep in random spots. You can never be comfortable. I assume you are a guy and you would think that this makes sleeping easier---However, there are people who would assault you just for being asleep. Please reconsider and address this issue with your parents. Perhaps you could have an apartment in their home/garage/yard?
There are other options...maybe pitch a tent in the backyard or buy a cheap camper?
Perhaps there is a relative or pal that you could stay with?
Being homeless SUCKS!! !
I don't know what your sensory issues are...I hate to be dirty and I have to clean the restroom I am going to use before I can use it. When you sleep outside in the open, there is morning dew to bother you...and bugs. People suck and it is terrible to be condescended to...but being homeless is worse.
Please reconsider.
