Mollx TT & Opal, thank you for sharing. Marcos has not had a job since a paper route in junior high. He once told an interviewer that his questions were stupid. He sends in several applications each week, no responses. He did work with a disability agency for a while, but they were ill-equipped to help. I want him to go back into that system and then let me give them directions on how to actually help. As his mom, I can’t go to employers and explain that he would be dependable and follow rules and directions precisely. They could.

Moll, glad to see your daughter got potty trained. Luke gets a cone enema every other night now. It has stopped the poopy diapers, severe stomach cramps, and passing gas that can clear a room! He will probably never be bladder trained. He drips all day and has no control. Previous doctors wanted to cath him, but, thankfully, they now have a urologist who understands that he has never had a bladder or urinary tract infection and you don’t mess with things that are okay.

Like your daughter, he refuses to use his AAC device at home, but does use it at school. I can sometimes get him to use it with me, but not always.
