My autistic brother, who I am very close to, was accepted into an autistic specialty school not too far away from our house. The school will provide him with life skills such as cooking and cleaning, in addition to a focus on speech development. Currently, my brother is seven years old and still non-verbal. So, with class sizes of six, my brother can finally work on verbal communication with specialists and be in an environment of his peers.
I also got a bite on a job. I'm proclaiming this the "summer of pratt rules" as of now.
That's great!
Yes, that is awesome news Pratty. What school? The right people can make all the difference. I've heard many first-hand stories of kids on the spectrum whom break through the verbal barrier when introduced to the proper environment and therapies....
Thanks for asking. He was accepted to the NHS Autism School at Woodhaven in Northeast Philly. I'm taking the tour of the facility later next week, but from everything I've heard, it's one of the best places for an autistic child to learn. The best part about the school is that it guarantees education until 21.

One dude I know is a certified mechanic and can't afford a shop anymore, but he has a huge garage with a lift in it so he could work from home. They won't let him because the neighbors are worried about the "noise pollution" or some other nonsense phrase. The closest house is like 75 yards away.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

no this is in a lot of places. and it's not stupid. Moral: if you're gonna buy a house, know the rules before you do it. If you don't like the rules of the area, look elsewhere.
