Hello Everyone

[Guest guest]

Hello My name is Channing. I am a female. I live in s, North

Carolina . I have a Disability called Autism- I have the Aspergers

kind of autism. I was treated VERY MEANLY in a group home recently the

group home told me these things

1. That they would not let me go to the church I want to go to

2. That they told me that I would not be able to use the bathroom

because of the fact I have problems with frequent urination

3. They told me that I would not be able to use the phone- they wanted

a goal because I use the phone too much

4. They told me that I could not be independent at all and that I

would have to be treated as a prisoner- I have a lot of capabilitys my

capabilitys is I can stay at home without my mother when she goes out

of town for 3 nights, I know how to ride the City bus in the

community, I know how to walk in the neighborhood and go to places

like the Library and post office on my own

5. They told me that I must go to a Day program and do retarded lo

Functioning contract work because of the fact I do not have a job - I

have had jobs in the community before like working at Pizza Hut,

working as a file Clerk at Nationsbank and working as a Janitor at a

preschool

Because of this I have gone back home to live with my ageing 64 years

old Mother and my ageing 68 years old dad . I also know if my parents

was to die and I was liveing at home with my parents I would become a

ward of the state of North Carolina and be placed in VERY

INAPPROPRIATE LIVEING SITUATIONS for someone like me- I do not want to

become a ward of the state of North Carolina. I AM TREATED VERY MEANLY

IN NORTH CAROLINA BECAUSE I HAVE A DISABILITY CALLED AUTISM- THE

ASPERGERS KIND OF AUTISM.

I am also treated VERY MEANLY by people-pen pals because of the fact I

write very short letters with 2 or 3 questions ONLY. I do not have

much to say about my life because I have no friends where I live -

WHERE I LIVE THE PEOPLE CALL ME RETARDED ,PEOPLE CALL ME RUDE AND DO

NOT SPEAK TO ME AT ALL .

I am looking for e-mail pen pals that can accept very short letters

with 2 or 3 questions like for example:

1. Do you have any pets?

2. Do you like music?

3. What kind of music do you like?
