It's took over a year,but am finally have a place almost officially confirmed-with the conditions that the council [trafford] sort the funding out,and fund sound proofing for bedroom-as no placement is going to be allowed without sound proofing.
Have mentioned who they are in previous blog post on them,but if anyone else lives in trafford and lives in the same/similar situation,pm am on wrongplanet if want name of the organisation.
There are going to be four young adult auties in total in the home,no one is in it right now as they are just getting the residents together,it has another big building next to it for the children/teens residential.
am being reserved for the downstairs bedroom,due to physical needs from s/overload induced paralysis in legs and staff risk assessments on am having meltdowns on stairs.
Two others are profoundly LFA [as in,severe MR as well as full time non verbal],and the other
is a fully verbal autie who tics [physical and verbal] am think they could mean echolalia as well-no idea what their other needs are as the managers were trying to think of what may affect am.
They've got a lot of land around the buildings,and a farm-with their own horse and pet chickens for residents [for therapy,skill building and companionship].They've even got their own sensory room.
Am not allowed a cat because of the possibility of other residents coming in being allergic,but they said am will be allowed to get one and keep it at the farm instead,a farm kitty-cant argue with that its better than none.
Am overheard in the meeting- will be allowed to keep the staff team have got from the NAS,wouldn't have accepted a no anyway,and the managers said they would be able to work on [sensory] desensitising am after getting settled there.
But...am ended up being restrained in front of the new managers on the floor after nearly smashing this laptop as well as anything else not pinned down,and flipping a sofa in the lounge then having a seizure on the floor when a stupid..fucking idiot driving a ring and ride bus decided to slowly reverse [instead of going forward] all the way down here-with their reversing sirens on full volume,and pull up under bedroom window,only to reverse their way back out of the street again,not exactly what managers should have seen till they at least had got to know am,luckily it is not the sort of stuff that would bias whether am get a place or not as thats' pretty much standard stuff [and mild] compared to others anyway.
Had then went for a drive to find the home tonight with NAS staff,it all looks awesome from the limited amount was able to see.
Once the funding is confirmed,they're going to start their transition process,allowing am to get used to the place,others and the staff-and for the staff to get to understand am-don't know how long have got left in this shit hole...please let it be under two months.....CAN'T WAIT to get away from the residents and some of the staff here.
