Chris, 18 years old, NM
Wish submitted by:
Children, Youth and Families DepartmentChris deals with everyday challenges because he has autism. He finds it hard to interact with people and adjust to new places. To manage these difficulties, he uses different strategies; sometimes, he walks around in rooms for a long time to help calm himself down. His support team is helping him get the right placement and support he needs. Recently, Chris moved to a specialized group home and is adjusting to living in a new town with surroundings he's not used to.
Chris is preparing to move into his long-term housing. He has faced some challenges, but over the past six months, he has worked hard to develop coping skills. Due to his disabilities, finding a suitable placement in foster care has been difficult. Chris has expressed a desire to move back to his hometown, and his team has successfully secured housing that will support him in the long run. As he transitions to this new chapter, Chris will need to furnish his room with his own belongings, including a mattress for his bed, as he has never owned his own items before.
