Need to find someplace to live

Post Reply New Topic

Last night, my mother came in and asked me to look up group homes supported by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints due to us both being members. Google turned up nothing of value though. The closest I got were links to LDS-based assisted living for SENIORS.

Back in 2016, my mom attempted to get me into a state-funded group home for people with developmental disabilities, but, in Oklahoma, you have to have an IQ below 70 to qualify for such services. Either way, I'm a bit worried about moving into such a home because I fear losing what freedom I have here. They will no doubt control what I eat and how/if I can spend my own money. Even if that would be for my own good, I still feel as though it would be like going to a glorified prison. In that case, it might be easier to just get sent to prison. Of course, I'd have to commit a crime, and I'd rather not do that. These concerns have caused me, during the lowest of lows, to believe that my disabilities are punishment from God. Of course, that's not the case. Maybe they're just present to temper what may be a naturally prideful personality.

Have you tried asking your pastor/minister (sorry, not sure what they're called in Mormon churches) if there are any such services they know of? I think that a church is supposed to support its members, and would hope that they could help you find something whether it is church affiliated or not. If it needs to be affiliated, you might have better luck looking in Utah, as there are probably a lot more Mormon based organizations out there.

I'm sorry you're having problems with your mother.

Obviously, I don't know the nature of your problems---so I can't really offer advice.

For some adults, it's best if they move out from their parents' place. I wish I could definitively advise you to do that.

I wonder if your mother was in some kind of "mood." Sometimes, people, when they are stressed, say things they don't really mean. When I was younger, my mother would, on a regular basis, threaten me with placement in a group home. Then sort of retract that threat.

There aren't many Mormons in Oklahoma. Obviously, there are many in places like Utah and Idaho.

My parents have even suggested I look into church-supported living arrangements, but such things only appear to exist for seniors, not the general disabled congregation. With autism on the rise, it should change.
I agree that it would be easier to find help from the church if I could travel to Utah or Idaho, but I don't have the means to do so. Oklahoma is probably one of the worst states to live in with autism from what I've read. It's one of those states where supported living for disabled adults is tied to IQ. If I weren't also legally blind and living in another state when I applied for SSI, I probably wouldn't have gotten that either.

I did consider consulting the Branch President (probably the closest thing to a minister in my local LDS church), but he's battling pancreatic cancer and is no doubt also dealing with the aftermath of his wife's fairly recent car accident.
