[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if asking for the off campus waiver as an alternative is part of what's causing the problem in getting the request approved. I really do understand what you're saying but I think the idea that he has the skills to live independently at age 18 but not the skills to share a dorm room is hard to understand for people who don't have experience with a lot of different kinds of autism. For most people disability exists on a sliding scale from more to less and living by yourself is "less disabled" than living with a friend in a dorm. Again I'm not saying this is true, just that I'm wondering if it's making people think he just doesn't want to share with a random.[/quote]
