Hi! ,

I hope some of the info below will help you in some way.

For help getting a job, you can contact your local Vocational Rehab -

http://www.rehabworks.org/area2_offices.shtml

http://www.rehabworks.org/

or center for independant living - http://cilj.com/

If you can work independantly, try applying at your local Publix

or Walgreen's store. They seem to be open to hiring people with

autism.

Most of the parents on this list worry about what will happen to

their children when they are gone.

A group that is working on a community for people with autism, but

is a little south of you in Palm Bay, Florida is Betsy Farmer and

Promise - http://promiseinbrevard.org/

There is also Noah's Ark of Central Florida - A community for the disabled -

You may also want to have your parents look into a special needs trust for you.

If you aren't already receiving Soc. Security and medicaid, you need to apply

for that. You may be eligible for a discounted or free bus pass in your county,

and even though there is an extremely long waiting list, you may want to apply

for APD if you aren't already on the list or receiving this.

Regards,

Glenda

You need to find an ad for a "free" lawyer to help you appeal, even if you sent in the appeal already. a lawyer knows what to do, it helped to get my son on SSI.Sent from my iPad
