Last night, I had a very strange dream that's making me feel a bit unsettled this morning. It was about me being sent to live in a care home for problem teenagers, despite me being 44 years old next month.
The care home in the dream was an absolute hell-hole run by hopeless staff members who were intent on playing the blame game and some of the (teenage) residents had knives, did drugs, smoked cigarettes inside the building, fought and used foul language constantly, played gangsta-rap music full blast day in day out, bullied me and invaded my privacy, and the staff said they were powerless to stop them, as they (the staff) were scared of those kids!
The reason why I was admitted to that particular care home in the dream was because it was the only place with a vacancy, despite me being a middle-aged Autie adult, and the place being extremely unsuitable not just for me personally but totally age and needs-inappropriate.
Has there ever been any real-life instances in this country where adults with LDs have had to share care facilities with children and teenagers due to a chronic shortage of suitable/ appropriate facilities?
