Is there a social worker at the group home, or who comes out to the group home, whom you can talk to and explain that the requirements are too difficult for you and are causing you pain and stress?

Can you talk to the social worker who placed you at the home? What about your sister? Or is there someone at the home who is in charge that you could talk to?

The group home should be willing to provide accommodations that work for you. They might even be required to do so.

I have a social worker, she don’t understand. My sister don’t understand, she told me that she has Autism, my Autism maybe worse than hers.I don’t think anyone will understand. I been depressed too, I had a little meltdown earlier this morning, I won’t get use to breakfast time at 6 AM, if I’m late to breakfast, the breakfast would be cold, I don’t like cold eggs, I don’t like alot of the breakfast here, I hate the time for dinner, dinner is at 3:40 :skull: 8O 8O :cry: :cry:

It is horrific that you have to live in a group home when you don't want to.

Honestly, it is disgusting. You should have the option of living alone and with in-home support if that is what you want.

Sending hugs Kitty.

Will your boyfriend still be able to visit you in the summer?

I hope so.

He will still come, he will stay in a hotel, I will go to the hotel, but I think he having trouble getting a Visa. He’s doing extra work to get more money.
