[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family member is intellectually disabled. Lives on his own and has a low income job but only because of help from from family and government. SNAP, LIHEAP, rural  housing loan.  That means family can help provide other things that give him a better quality of life like season passes and other experiences.

Being intellectually disabled is lonely since most people don’t feel comfortable with it. He buys soda and junk food with his snap. I don’t begrudge him. [/quote]

This!! My family member works part-time and has an IQ of 65.

But yes, denying him a soda is the be all end all for all these selfish DCUMers.

He can use his income for soda.  Just like he can use his income for entertainment and anything else he enjoys but isn’t necessary. Why should that be part of snap- which is supposed to help promote better health through nutrition[/quote]

Do you have any idea how few outlets and entertainment intellectually disabled adults have? His family helps him do a lot and it is still a lonely life. Don’t tell me it’s “unnecessary” if you don’t have any experiences with it.

He works, he pays sales tax and social security. He gets a lot of government assistance and his family picks up a lot of extras like his phone. What do I care if he buys some soda and chips with snap? [/quote]
