My child only got approved for 27 hrs and 47 minutes a month which isn't nothing. And my 11 yr old daughter is to be watched at all times aswell. How many hrs do u get if u don't mind me asking? Thank you

My son has autism and try’s to get out and run in street etc and Ihss wants to re-asses him even though the day they came out he tried to get out literally right in front of them. They will try and take it away which is ridiculous

I took it upon my self too print the form for protective services im take it to my doctor before my worker comes for the regular evaluation my son is 11 years old non verbal sever

Yes please continue to post this video has been very uplifting for me, as a proud mom of a 13 year old with special needs I can relate to every detail down to the bone that I am or we are always in the future, I’m researching behaviors in older kiddos to help my worrying as we always are, thank you so much ❤

hello there ; no one knows what you go true exept someone who has raised a child whit special needs . they all are so special and yet so unique. my wife and I are raising a 19 year old non verbal autistic young man. we just had his conservatorship done last year hes still going to school and we are in the procees of ihss protective custody. its beeig an amaizing journey. lisenting to your story is so similar and we are geting a beter handle on the situacion one day at the time. great to hear we are not alone.keep up the good work ang keep on sharing.

I wonder, and care, about you guys. Keep fighting the good fight, mama. The world is not our friend in this battle royale. "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;" (Colossians 3:12 KJV)

What are the max hours 1 person can work under the supervisory ?

I'm so happy I came across your site. My family is nearly a carbon copy of yours, my Scott, age 23, and your Jason are so very similar in every way even the hair smelling! Our current situation is this, Scott has had Protective Supervision for the entire time he's had IHSS, 14 years. His social worker of those 14 years retired in October and a new social worker came in and decided he doesn't qualify anymore. She spent 5 minutes with Scott and the rest of the assessment was with me; I answered the same questions I've been answering for the past 14 years. This social worker was a very young girl; I spoke to her supervisor after NOA arrived and she was so rude (I got very emotional and cried while talking to her) she told me to appeal, which I've done (filed appeal 1/6/24) You gave me so many great points that I can bring up in our appeal. Thank you so much!! If you need help with Self Determination, I can help you. I am 10 months into the process and actually have the budget meeting today with the Regional Center. If your interested in me helping you let me know here then we can exchange info. Michelle Munson Brentwood, CA

Btw he does the smelling the head/hair thing as well haha God bless

Going through the process now for my brother, hes 12 now and has moderate to severe autism. Not sure how many hours we will get but the interview went well he does leave the house when he gets angry hurts himself so it can be hard at times. We love him so much, were hoping first the best

Beautiful

I totally admit to using the stall especially when it’s busy, and often thought should I? Is it like a parking spot? No one is in here what’s the likelihood they show up? What if there were disabled people waiting for other disabled people? Can they hold it like able bodied people? I need room to help my able bodied child. Now having worked as a Para professional, helping kids in several situations with braces, wheelchairs and walkers, diapers, and non use of arms / hands, I can fully appreciate what parents must go through in these situations! That’s not including the addition of behavioral issues on top of it! Thanks for sharing this, because many think they are considerate people in general, like myself, but then someone opens our eyes to a new perspective! ❤

I went through the IHSS process for my Nana, who had stage 4 terminal bladder cancer. They came to the home and did the assessment, and yes the person a younger female didn't seem to understand the care that was needed for my Nana and did not give her very many hours, mostly for meal prep, even though she needed daily care. I understand that you can adjust the hours as time goes on. You could have him assessed clinically with an emphasis for IHSS hours and the care he needs. This was just the initial assessment. They will come back in a year to adjust hours. Angel View has a day program; as a person with autism I looked into their programs and they said I would qualify but it wouldn't benefit me very much (I am trying to gain social skills I need) and recommended ARC for me so I can maybe get the job skills and social skills I still am missing as 33 year old. I hope IHSS works out for you, I went through the process to become IHSS worker for my Nana so I know exactly what you are talking about.

The look on his face when you were talking... It was like he's thinking "This chick is ratting me out!" lol

He folds a whole lot better than I do LOL. Bring him here and he can fold all of my clothes!

He is the same age as my youngest.❤

Happy birthday to Jason! 🎉

You obviously love your son very much. It's never too late to make positive changes. The body and brain are amazingly adaptable and change is cumulative. I agree with you about the medications, they are no bueno. Trust your instincts; watch him closely and you can figure out what he's feeling. He may have withdrawals, but the poison has to leave his body before he can truly heal. Then/during weaning please consider replenishing him with outdoor exercise, high quality vitamins, water, home cooked organic food, and less screen time. If he is into music, really explore that passion with him, any way you can. Keep fighting the good fight...you were made for this.

Hahaha always had to end in the headstand!!!! 😂❤

Just now catching up on these a month later! Thanks for sharing your life with those who may need to hear it! ❤

Beautiful ❤

This was a helpful video, Jorryn loves coke and Dr Pepper and I allow him to go get them himself. I’ve had to tell him no and delt with him having a meltdown it was exhausting but we got through it . Yes there are no videos on how to manage but you are doing great . I need help in the area too ❤

This so beautiful to see , I know Jorryn will someday be an adult and will have to learn these things .. you are an amazing mother your voice is so calm and soothing! I’m encouraged by watching you ! Jason is so handsome. I love this ❤

NICE JOB MOM!

Great to see Jason and yourself setting a good example of how people with special needs can learn and flourish with love and positive stimulation. Keep up the channel and it will grow quickly!

I don't know you personally, KZbin just decided to recommend your video to me, but I just had to say that this guy has a great vibe. He has a real sweetness about him. Seems like the kind of guy that's really easy to root for. 💛

Sorry you had to deal with that it honestly can be really traumatic for everyone involved! There is no right or wrong you did the best you could. There is no manual for parents with Autistic Adults. It's all a trial by error experience so hang in there! Don't let anyone else's opinion worry you :)

This is a great explanation of the needs of any challenged adult. The only thing I would have done differently would be to put the part about getting conservatorship before 18, is at the beginning of the video rather than at the end.

I like the new idea of counting! Let us know how it goes. Also, how are his knees so flexible?! Haha he's like a pretzel laying down on the bed

"What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man" :). Certainly has changed Jason's life in a wonderful way! Couldn't be a better mentor
