Housing at last! David's SLS program can finally begin! / ¡El nuevo programa de David puede comenzar!
(Post #2)
Congratulations, David!
After nearly two years of waiting on lists for "affordable housing", David's name finally rose to the top of a "Project Based Section 8" list and he's moving into his own home. Wow! So many stops and starts, and lessons learned along the way (which I shall share in my later Kindle publication).
In the meantime, he and I are training his new staff to take over for me on December 1st... at the same time as preparing him to move... and, of course, I will no longer qualify to live in our current housing, so I'm moving too...
As I said: "Wow!"
🙂

Después de casi dos años de espera en las listas de "viviendas asequibles", el nombre de David finalmente llegó a la cima de una lista de "Sección 8 basada en proyectos" y se mudará a su propia casa. ¡Guauu! Tantas paradas y comienzos, y lecciones aprendidas en el camino (que compartiré en mi publicación de libro posterior).
Mientras tanto, él y yo estamos entrenando a su nuevo personal para que se haga cargo de el el 1 de diciembre ... al mismo tiempo que lo preparamos para mudarse ... y, por supuesto, ya no calificaré para vivir en nuestro actual vivienda, así que también me mudo ...
Como dije: "¡Guau!"

The Autism Spectrum ranges from "Level 1" (requiring some support) through "Level 3" (requiring very substantial support). My son, David M. Nisson, PhD, is at "Level 2" (requiring substantial support). He dreamed of earning college degrees in Experimental Physics, but only wealthy "Twice Exceptional" students could afford this. It's against my religious values to ignore "Talents", so, with my support, David went on to complete a Ph.D. at UC Davis Physics and contribute to the all-important world of scientific research. This blog serves both as a reference for the increasing numbers of parents following in my footsteps, and a warning that in addition to advocating for academic accommodations and arranging behavior programs, parents must also spend time studying medical issues that seem minor during childhood, and to
participate now in the reform efforts of crucial national agencies like SSA and HUD, and those of your city, county and state government to protect your sons' or daughters' futures.
