A film by Michael Loukinen, Ph.D.

Also teach her to advocate for herself. That will be important as she grows into adulthood.

I have a message for parents of adults with disabilities who want to live independently, find a way for your adult child to live in the community while making sure that they have the support that they need to able to function safely . It can be done I'm a adult with CP who has been living in the community for almost 20 years with the proper supports in place. It's hard but it's doable.

Most doctors overmedicate. In the US, we tend to think there’s a pill for everything, even for the normal problems encountered because of our common humanity. If that were true, we’d empty the hospitals, nursing homes, jails, no more divorces, no more wars. Just give Putin and Zelensky a peace pill every morning and evening. Sweet days, restful nights. Seriously, my nephew with ADHD, ODD, on the autistic spectrum, depression, anxiety, you name the condition. Every day he took up to 36 pills at age 13, got expelled from three schools, had fits of rage in which he was violent. He punched and kicked holes in the walls, destroyed furniture, tore doors off of walls and cabinets, vandalized property, and finally, after various programs and group homes, about every kind of therapy, he got sent up to juvy for assaulting his mother and a teacher. That he added daily vaping of cannabis to his routine didn’t help, although he thought so. He got 2 1/2 years. Along came Covid and they sent away everyone who could possibly go home. And the caretakers were on their own, no support other than 15 minutes on Zoom per week. He was able to recognize the warning signs and to remove himself from volatile situations. He also started to apologize if he did fly into a rage. He started working, secretly, on his GED and when schools opened up, he checked them out with his mother. The three schools he got kicked out of refused to take him back. His mother found a small private boys’ middle and high school. He visited for two days and was hooked. He’ll graduate in June and plans to stay for one, maybe two years of college/seminary. And btw, the only meds he takes are for his asthma when it flares up. Sure, he still has a temper and can be morose at times, but he has learned to use socially acceptable outlets to vent; physical work outdoors, playing the saxophone, singing as loud as he wants, in the woods! Oh, and best of all, he’s looking forward to making his bar mitzvah in July! He’ll turn 18, but better late than never! When he as very young, he was religious, loved to go with his grandpa to schul, but he fell away and fell apart starting at age 10, Grandpa passed and the next year, his parents divorced, not amicably. His father stopped coming around and quit paying child support. My sister went back to work full-time rather than spend all the time and money to get his father extradited to the U.S. We can’t help but wonder if things would have better had he never taken a single psychiatric med. No, matter, my real nephew is back.

I wish that I could have help to have my own house and my own pets. I am in a trust but I would really love a place of my own and I just need support to get to the shops for groceries. I don’t want to have a landlord who tells me what to do. I get told what I can’t do and not support to live my dreams. I can do my own washing but I sometimes need support in that. I wish I could choose my house 😊I wish I was In control as well

Things would be put in place for you, in case anything happened, youd perhaps be given one of those "life lines" where you push a button that you keep round your neck, to get emergency help. Its still doable
