  • A Change Is Coming

    Hi all 👋, I got my decision letter back today. And as an autistic person I hate change but this is a good life change. You know the daycenter and attending. I got extra money on the daily living. But not the mobility. But I’ve got both till 2026. I don’t like talking about money…
