California case of severely autistic young adult with self-injurious behaviors and epilepsy who lives at home with family. Cost to place him OUTSIDE home and INSIDE an institution was estimated over $500,000 year. Over a million if you add the 1:1 and often 2:1, 24/hr staffing he requires. Cost to keep at home with family and provide in home nursing care: Under $245,00.... Which option makes more economic sense? Support in-home support services,for families raising severely-autistic children/adults--- it makes economic sense in cases like this.

PTSD. I have never heard it put that way, but you are so right. I could be a work and hear a noise and it will trigger me to respond but then I realize I'm at work and there is nothing to respond to or prevent.

People with autism DO NOT BELONG IN INSTITUTIONS...if the family is willing to work with the person. Jamies families is more than willing to work with him and they show their love for him. Everyone needs to know they are imporant and feel love. You don't feel that in an institution. I go to a special needs state residential school and you barely feel it here.

@multisnootylives1 WHY? you seem like a very angry person. Someone who hates autistics, anyone with challenges who may different than you. I wonder what you story is. Who are you.....what makes you so angry and bitter and hateful?

Parts in slow motion because the insanity of soooo many years of fighting for what Jamey needs requires an occasional spoofing
