I like my respite worker

Post Reply New Topic

When I was younger my parents could never go out because they couldnt find a babysitter willing to deal with me. Now they go out every friday. Its nice. They started it this friday. Im happy they can do it now. They decided that I should have a respite worker with me, every friday evening. I really didnt like that idea. But they came an hour ago at 6:30 and they are super nice and understanding. I like it. Shes a really nice lady in her 40s-50s. We went for a walk with my dog and she played monopoly with me. I love monopoly. Then she helped me with some of my homework and didnt get mad when I got frustrated and put my head on the table. None of my siblings are here now. Thats nice. She appreciates that I dont like speaking. She also lets me stim as much as I want. I feel accepted tonight. Im excited for next friday. I like how she treats me

I’m glad that your respite worker is nice to you! I hope you have a great time next Friday.

Thank you. Its fun right now. Im helping her cook dinner. Thats definitely not something Im allowed to do alone. I feel really good and confident. Its great. At first I didnt want it because its against my routine. But now it can become a part of my routine. She helped me out with that. I hate to say it but I was a bit difficult when she came.She helped me out though. Im excited to do more public outings. We definitely dont look like we are related but I dont care. I cant go out alone. I like my freedom
