    As I think about needing two weeks of clothes, I feel pleased that my current caregiving does my laundry weekly.... Weekly is so rare, and caregivers for this laundry have never been "free" before this company. I never had Regional Center cover costs before.

    Heavens forbid the decades it takes for Regional Center approval, which requires having a certified Dx that fits within RC requirements.

    Autism recently got accepted as a Dx outside their under 18 dx requirement.

    When people ask, "do I need a Dx?"
    Yes, if you want Regional Center to help you cover some costs of living life as a disabled/neurodifferent person.

    I would not need caregivers to do my laundry, if government support (Section 8) would allow enough rent coverage for units with in-home laundry machines.

    but where I am allowed to live, apartmtns have community washrooms, and I gota spend about $5 per load. I have to have carers to walk that journey in public.

    I can wash and dry and fold my own clothes, but I am not safe to be outside with the judgy people who have 911 in their pockets.
