Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Joshua is a young man with high-functioning autism who will never be able to live independently. Despite this, he is quite independent in many ways and loves to engage in conversations. One of his greatest passions is gaming, where he truly shines. Joshua has had a difficult upbringing, having moved between several foster homes through no fault of his own. He is currently living in a group home, which is likely where he will remain. Although he is unable to hold a regular job, he enjoys volunteering and has contributed his time at various animal shelters because of his love for animals. Joshua is outgoing and enjoys having fun.

Josh has autism, which limits the activities he can participate in. He is not currently in school and cannot hold a typical job. To pass the time, he enjoys playing video games, which bring him a lot of joy. Most of his conversations revolve around gaming, and he lights up when discussing it. Josh lives in a group home, which is not the happiest of places, so having a gaming console would provide him with a positive escape.
