When disability systems require solid, existing, family based supports to provide advocacy for their disabled family member to receive inadequate, ill-funded services, what does that means for folks who have no supports or whose families can't do the work or are burned out? 1/
The problems humanity faces today demand a positive mental attitude and a sense of compassion for others. I firmly believe we can solve the majority of our problems by developing a sense of universal responsibility—wanting to do something for others without a selfish motive.
@AutismTalkAspie Thank you Orion.I’m a parent of an autistic young adult. Your video helps me sort out all the many labels flying around and reminds me to be patient and respect my son’s path.Also I don’t like sleeping with others (no formal Dx) - my poor husband! 😯
