i have medium support needs or something. idk how to describe it.
i want to have my own place, but have ended up hospitalized both times i tried.
so supportive housing (not a group home tho) would be a good step i think. even if i have to prove i'm ready for it at a more supported level. as long as it isn't an institution.
but i need a #medicaid waiver. and they talk is all directed at parents. not directly to the client. i am doing this by myself.

Every Saturday, Katherine and her mother, Frances, share a cherished routine: thrifting, browsing the hardware store and working side by side on their intricate miniature-house projects. From England to Hong Kong to Calgary, and finally to Whitehorse, Yukon, they’ve built a full and joyful life together defying the lifelong doubts others cast on what a child with an #IntellectualDisability can achieve.
Directed by Jessica Hall, Saturday is a tender tribute to the filmmaker’s sister and mother, blending present-day moments with intimate home movies that trace their #immigration journey and family history. With warmth, creativity and quiet resilience, the film celebrates Katherine’s independence and the powerful bond between mother and daughter. It offers a moving sense of hope—for every child whose unique qualities are seen, supported and nurtured.

Somehow I missed this, but a study of over 2.4 million Swedes found no link between using acetaminophen (key ingredient in Tylenol) during pregnancy and risk of autism, ADHD, or other intellectual disabilities.

People With IDD Wrongly Forced Into #NursingHomes, Scathing U.S. Report Says:
“At least 2,000 people with #developmentaldisabilities in New Jersey are housed in nursing homes “contrary to their wishes” and in violation of their constitutional rights because the state does not properly evaluate their needs or give them the option of living more independently in a group home, a new report has found.”

The Atlantic: "I thought my mother was an only child. I was wrong." By Jennifer Senior
"He knows that I have an aunt whom no one speaks about and who herself barely speaks. She is, at the time of this tweet, 70 years old and living in a group home in upstate New York. I have met her just once. Before this very moment, in fact, I have forgotten she exists at all."

As I was editing this section of my thesis I realized how much my thoughts have changed. I don't think I feel this way about these things anymore, or if I do, I don't think I'd describe them in this way.
It's a good exercise to do this, I think, and that's why I wanted to share it. It forces me to go back and reread things I would otherwise forget.

There's been a welcome focus this week on the UK govt's plans to overhaul human rights laws.
The recent piece here is a reminder of why we need to reinforce, not weaken, the ability to use rights.
Often it's so disabled people and their families, allies or adovocates can fight for stuff that others get anyway.

This recent piece from my colleague Mary O'Hara is horribly relevant today, given the latest from the UK govt on 'levelling up' - and Sunak's jet flights.
'Framing this calamity as a cost-of-living crisis suggests an evenly distributed, unavoidable experience. As with austerity, this is a fallacy.'
