Thank you so much for your comment. It carries a lot of weight, and means a lot to me, coming from someone who truly knows and has experienced these ordeals. Despite my efforts, in many cases the best help my son has gotten has come from a caring provider at a non-profit agency or homeless shelter. Moms of adults have little to no power in medical and criminal justice systems. My boy has been lucky that someone took the time to sign him up for disability $ (which I was clueless about and seems impossible for laypeople to understand) and for the HUD subsidy reserved for disabled people who've been homeless for more than a year. I wish you and your child many blessings. I hope they come to your family. I have to hope and believe they will.
