Yesterday I got a call from one of my
coaches, regarding the foundation that will lead the training for living on your
own for people with autism.
Remember when I wrote about how the
foundation had a lot happen to them, making it unable for them to tell us when
the project will start? If you haven't read it yet, you can find it here: Sick and Tired
The coach who called said that... *drum
roll* ... they already got the permits through and they can open up the new
location mid December!
This is fantastic news. The way things were
playing out, it seemed like it could easily be somewhere halfway through next
year that we could start, if everything went well. This would've been
disastrous for me, as I have an indication for the proper funding for three
years. This year is the first year for that, so starting somewhere halfway next
year would've meant that I would only have one and a half year left of
training, which isn't enough. I would have to try to get them to lengthen the
time of the indication, which would mean a lot more paperwork and mental
fighting for me.
But that's not necessary anymore! I'll be
starting mid December and will have at least two full years left. After that
we'll see how far I've gotten and what my next step will be. One step at a
time.
I'm so excited! Scared too, of course. It's
a big change and changes are scary, period. But I'm mostly excited! I hope
nothing bad will happen anymore, which causes things to postphone and/or be
uncertain again. Of course I'll keep updating, so you can all follow this
process with me.
