For 20 years I lived with my Mom and Dad and brother. It was great. Then, my brother went to college and
my parents thought it would be a good idea if I moved into a group home with 5 other guys kind of like me.
But I was not happy because I wanted to live closer to my family and chose the people I lived with and who
took care of me and be able to tell them how to take better care of me. It just didn’t work out at all and I
started to get really sick and my parents got really worried. I had some friends named Teri and Stephanie
and Kelly who used to talk about supported living and I knew that was what I wanted to do. I had to be
really strong and make people understand how import it was to me to live in a different way. My family
helped me get started and find a place to live and get the things I needed. I asked my friend Andy to be
my roommate. Now we live in a cool house near my family and I choose my caregivers and decide what
kinds of things I want to do. I like computers a lot and to me supported living feels like having a lot of power
and connections like a computer network to make things work better. That makes it kind of funny that I chose
Networx to help support me!
