What do your support needs look like?
I want to see how my support needs line up along with others so I can understand where I fall inside of MSN. I can share a little bit of my support needs if that helps others compare to mine as well.
I live at home. I need prompting to initiate self care tasks like showering, brushing my teeth, and taking my meds. I need instructions and assistance to make food. (I can make sandwiches and use a microwave and blender independently).
I am verbal and am able to reliably speak for 6-8 hours a day. My tolerance for social communication is alot lower (1-2) hours however I can continuously communicate my wants and needs throughout most the day.
I work part time with autistic children. I like it because it feels like my job is to play all day. I cannot drive and am taken to work and back.
I rely on suppprt for safe emotional regulation. I cannot calm down or prevent meltdowns independently. Even at work I have to call someone who knows how to help me.
I have fine motor issues and often need help with tying my shoes, buttoning clothes, and putting lids back on containers.
