Sorry for being a jerk

Did the mods delete because ken asked for deletion or because HY asked to not delete?

Delete what?

You do listen. And it should be acknowledged.

Thanks.

But I was probably being overly sensitive about pondering that question. Thank you.

Yea that about sums it up

I’ll start a really funny parody thread later

I was filling out paperwork for my young adult son who has Autism to facilitate his transition to adult care needs. A lot of paperwork. One of the questions was "Will this condition likely lead to his death?"

How the hell do you answer that question? Sure it could.

Alright, I should have just left it but it bothered me.

I didn't like the question and wondered about its relevance and came here to vent.

The story is not as interesting and the explanation is not much more interesting.

I think you answered your own question here. You should write down, "Maybe."

What does adult care look like?

That’s understandable. I don’t think the question is meant to be dark but it’s a very personal one and would definitely flare the nostrils and could be taken the wrong way.

I love when new traditions start.

From the other side, I have to carry a Illinois Department of Health Services DSP (Direct Support Person) and QIDP (Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional, it wasn't even that long ago it was a QMRP and you can guess what the MR stood for) for work and it's a pretty wild swing in the quality of care. I think I've mentioned before, but the pay just sucks for someone working in a group home where they have a huge responsibility for multiple resident's quality of life. Same with Day Services, HS Transition, and Vocational Training, what it sounds like Dr. Ken is getting into. I work in the far south suburbs where there's less money though, so experiences may vary.

We are lucky. I think you even met Chip (Dr. Ken Jr. III). He is the greatest person and most social person I've ever met.

But Frank will still stay on my ignore list.

I just didn't like the preprinted question. Somebody should think about what you are asking.
