State developmental services are geared toward clientele with developmental disabilites more limiting than Asperger's Syndrome (AS) - that is AS presents least restrictions to independence, and being receptive to becoming acquainted with trusted NTs.

From personal experiences, "the not disabled enough, yet not quite able enough dilemma" (in a nutshell).

Have any state-supported developmental services considered contracting with trusted financial services providers? Such financial services are appropriate for developmental services clientele who have least restrictions to independence, as well as clientele who need the more intensive independent living support services.

Examples:

-Clientele with least restrictions to independence can consult with financial services on the more complicated (yet uncommon) consumer issues. For example, financial services personnel can be available to act as a third-party - to be present for negotiations in the purchasing of a motor vehicle at the vehicle dealership.

-For all clientele dealing with those (uncommon) trickier consumer issues: One such issue would be the necessity of changing banks, on account of banks delivering poor customer service. I know of someone who (on thier own) successfully (after much stress) transfered their banking to another bank - on account of the poor experiences with the bank's computer bill paying service, as well as other concerns regarding this specific bank.

The need for consumer support services via financial services involves basic social / economic dynamics - in short, we live in an ever more complicated world!
