I could definitely do that here but I decided not to because when I pass, it would be harder on him since I would be so involved in his day to day life and he would lose the house as he wouldn't be able to maintain the property. I figure if he's already out on his own, he would lose less when I die. Morbid, but it's a harsh reality right?

eta: I should say, that being said...I won't accept any accommodations for him that are unsafe or too far from me. He can't be in another city. I need to find something for him here or at the very least if it's a great location, easy to get back to this city via public transportation. There's places one city over but it's in a really rundown part of town and he wouldn't feel safe there. So he knows he can live here until we find something that will truly work for him.

Understand completely.  That's why I breathed a cautious sigh of relief when The PR said that.  It's going to be a while before it can happen and she's just started at Magnolia.  Lots can happen between now and then.  The "pressing" issue is who to ask to be her spokesperson after I'm gone.  My sister is hand-to-mouth and lives about 400 miles away.  PA's sister lives in Florida.  There's PA's niece about 80 miles away, but that's an awful lot to ask of a niece.  But PA's sister and niece are The PR's god parents, so maybe it will work out.  Yeah, I know god parents don't have any legal responsibility, but they may step up.

Right. It's a lot to think about and put in place, but incredibly necessary. Raising kids like ours brings about extra challenges that other parents raising NT kids don't have to consider.

Today was a really fun day. Nothing went as planned and yet my crazy little family just rolled with it. I don't remember the last time we all laughed that much.

Being able to roll with it is an awesome skill to teach a couple of aspie kids.

Watching German television isn't helpful for me expressing myself in English here. I like the German language quite a bit but..

Mein Gehirn macht er ein scheisse Gesamtheit von..

:laugh:

.. and that's not proper German there too..

I miss Europe.

Why is that?

Because I was in the US and it gets very strange after a while. I'm back to the UK now.

For a moment I thought you meant Americans were people, and that was weird compared to all you aliens and monsters across the water.

Will this ever end?
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me

Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

That skill took 15 years for the oldest to accomplish and years of scaffolding skills on my part to get us there. He's probably 90% successful in it now.

I hope the quality of life people don't get a look at my backyard.  The weeds (there is no grass left) are almost 2 feet tall.  Thank heavens for tall privacy fences.
