Huge loss of autonomy

I really did not want to return to supported housing. I find it ridden with expectations, with very little actual support to meet those expectations, and with an attitude that PDA is not relevant.

Unfortunately, I am being forced to move into a new supported accommodation situation. It’s in a good location, and the facilities are far more modern than the previous set up, which is something but… I have no faith in supported housing anymore. No trust.

I don’t trust that they will care about my PDA profile, or be willing to work with it appropriately. I absolutely would not have chosen this for myself, but I have been told if I refuse I will be seen as “making myself homeless” because someone I haven’t met has decided that it “meets need”.

It’s not autism specific housing, so I really don’t see how it’s going to meet my needs. I feel incredibly let down right now.
