Although the story doesn't give their exact dx, I believe the info would be good for Auties/AS to see. (And as usuall, the moronic comments at the end were good for a laugh!)

Mentally Disabled Couple's Legal Battle Ends with New Home

Hmmm, my cut & paste of the 1st page of the article didn't stick! Here's a link to the story:

The director stated that if a person "cannot wash, cook, iron, and take care of money for themselves, then that person cannot take care of another person," according to the complaint.


According to this, 25 years ago half of the male NTs were not allowed to marry. :lmao: (Only a joke, but I think many know older NT males that are not able to use their washing machine at home, cant cook anything else but sausages, and dont even know how to start the ironing device.... ^^)

I think knowing that it's called an IRON might be the 1st step!

But seriously....the run-around those 2 families went through (all the LIES from the social/church organizations running the group homes) I hope those "social workers" are embarassed as he11 that this is in the news. For them to put standards in place to bar these 2---standards that are NOWHERE else to anyone else in modern society is just sickening to me!

I really do hope these 2 WIN a large monetary verdict....then they'll be set for life. (& yeah, I know that $$ would come at a cost to the rest of the programs....but with idiotic morons like THAT running them, the programs were probably doomed anyway).
