Chris, 18 years old, NM | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Children, Youth and Families Department

Chris 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 adjusting to life in a group home designed for people with disabilities, and he's beginning to explore his community more during the day. He enjoys the freedom to search for items that truly interest him and has even discovered a few things he really wants to get from Hot Topic. It's an exciting time for Chris as he embraces new experiences and opportunities.
