Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi All, Having moved to North Carolina several years ago seeking a state that I felt was more in tune with the needs of young adult and adult individuals on the spectrum, I can only send this advice........"Grow where you are planted". The truth is that adult services for the most part are what you make of them, do NOT expect to move somewhere and be directed to an amazing group home with a spare place for your loved one. The difficulties in finding or creating a functional, meaningful, living environment are almost as daunting as getting your initial diagnosis and finding proper services. With State and Federal funds waining, creativity is imperative. Old model group homes are being challenged to grow and change with the times and be more creative with limited resources. Everyone I have spoken with is seeking the same thing, a productive and happy life for their loved ones, by working together families can explore all options available and then make the living situation functional and meaningful for the individuals who reside in a particular living situation. Regards, Ruth Singer-Strunck hello hi.. I posted a few weeks ago.. but never got an answer about the latest on adults services regarding autism, as I wish I could move back home to florida.. the panhandle area... from what one mom from another group said.. there is nothing... I am from pa and has florida taken a look at the adult wiaver for autism just passed into law last year? thanks.. LIa.. hoping florida maybe motivated by parents in pursuit of similar waiver.
