Chris, 17 years old | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Children, Youth and Families Department

Chris faces daily challenges due to his autism diagnosis. He struggles with interacting with others and adjusting to new environments. To cope with these difficulties, Chris employs various strategies; some days, he paces in rooms for long periods or showers multiple times a day to help calm himself. His support team is working to ensure that he receives the right placement and necessary support. Recently, Chris has found housing and is transitioning to living in a new town with unfamiliar surroundings.

Chris is eager to learn how to apply for jobs and is requesting a tablet. He has several places in mind where he would like to apply, but he needs guidance on how to go about the application process. Chris also wants to understand how to manage his finances, including saving money and paying bills. Granting this wish would truly be helpful to Chris.
