the blog of a disabled mother who likes to game, and "get in the pit"
When I got mail from Social Security, I thought for a whole second that my oldest son’s adulthood disability determination was going to continue to take forever and that the state of Texas would just drag their asses.
Come to find out that my baby remains eligible for SSI and survivor’s benefits into adulthood!
I am so thankful for him to continue to have the tools he needs to be as successful as he can be. I love this.
I have almost finished getting guardianship of my oldest son in such a manner that will move with us when we move out of this state, which has been entirely the point in me pursuing it in the manner that I have been!
My mother continuously refused to consent to autism and ADHD testing when my elementary school repeatedly requested that of her. She made it clear that she was never going to consent to testing and they eventually gave up trying to get her to. She would then follow that up by not taking me to any more well visits, only taking me to two dental visits my entire childhood, refusing to consent to treatment the second and last time I was there, and refusing to consent to immunizations that I did not need for her to finally foist me off onto the public school system so that she had to spend less time at home with me… and even still, she managed to get several nastygrams sent to her prompting her to consent to those few. I’m glad she’s gone.
I will also be getting this great new strap to wear it on my wrist with! Thank you so much! I love them both!
I am in the process of getting reciprocal guardianship of my oldest son that will be valid in every state, which is… a lot better than it only being valid in this current state due to state and federal law. This is something that I’ve been working on since I intend on moving as soon as I’m able to, especially if something more convenient comes up for content creation in the coming weeks or months. Since I already have guardianship of him this is a lot easier than it could have been, but it still involves me going through some of the same process over again… then all I have to do is fill out annual forms no matter where we live and that is that.
