Caretaker of Adults with Autism, she/her

Aug 6, 2022

“I work with adults with low functioning autism. We once were in CVS and one of my clients needed the bathroom. She normally isn’t very verbal about her bathroom needs so I knew she really needed to go.


I asked one of the employees if there is a bathroom she can use. The woman looked at me and my client and said im sorry- the bathroom isnt for customers. I told her that my client can’t really wait till we get back and can she please make an exception. She said no. I told my client that we will quickly go back to our center to use the bathroom. But then she had an accident all over the floor. So the employee came to clean it and and she was NOT happy about doing that. All couldve been avoided if she would have just let us use the bathroom”

Challenging FNF songs are much more enjoyable to practice when the soundtrack itself is fun to listen to.

I appreciated that this did not treat complexity as a sign of quality. I tried Pokémon Team Builder for a situation where I wanted to look at team balance in one place, and its narrower scope was actually an advantage.

Thank you for sharing your experiences as a caretaker; it's enlightening to read about the unique challenges and joys you encounter. One idea I think could be valuable is incorporating more technology, like apps or games (perhaps something akin to drift boss), that promote interaction and skill development for adults with autism. Have you considered it?

This profile gives a thoughtful look at the day-to-day responsibilities involved in supporting an autistic adult. I appreciated the emphasis on patience, communication, routines, and understanding individual needs rather than treating every person the same way. The personal perspective also helps show how meaningful consistent support can be. I recently came across Quenq Vice City browser while exploring browser-based projects.
