Wish submitted by:

Ron is an optimistic, outgoing young man. Ron will be aging out soon as he will be turning 21 in January. Ron is on the autism spectrum and has lived most of his life in out of home treatment centers. Ron is currently homeless and with assistance, from the division, he is staying at a motel until arrangements can be made for Ron to transition into a group home setting when he turns 21. Ron does not have many supports and relies on a community of agencies to ensure he is making the best decisions for himself. In spite of being left with no family support, Ron is excited about the possibility of being in a group home setting soon, where he will be able to thrive.

Ron is an optimistic and outgoing young man who recently turned 21. He is currently transitioning from Division services to DDD services and remains involved with the Division during this process. Ron is on the autism spectrum and has spent most of his life in out-of-home treatment centers. This month, he moved into a group home after previously staying at a motel. Although Ron does not have much family support, he relies on a network of community agencies to help him make the best decisions for himself. Despite these challenges, he is excited about his new group home setting, where he has been able to thrive. Ron does not own any electronic gaming systems for entertainment, and a PS5 would be a great addition to his new television. He is enthusiastic about the possibility of having this system to play games with his new friends.
