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 currently in his senior year of high school and has a strong desire to take college classes focused on video creation. With a deep love for technology, he is eager to learn and expand his skills in this area. Although Chris has autism, he refuses to let it hinder his aspirations of attending college. To support his journey, he hopes to get a laptop bundle that includes extra storage and Microsoft products, which would help him stay productive and reach his goals effectively.
