Working in groups homes was always a great experience for me. I worked in a variety of different houses and in different locations all throughout my college years. I met great people and made memories that I will never forget. This story in particular was in a group home with three lovely ladies. One woman, Bon Bon, was an athlete who has autism. Autism is a broad diagnosis, but some of the common characteristics of autism are difficulty with social skills and communication, repetitive behavior, and obsessive interest. Bon Bon is high functioning with some help on strategies for social skills. She was an intelligent woman, who loved to read, laugh, and stay active. Bon Bon had a lifelong crush named Ben. We called him Ben the nerd, because he had glasses. Our stories were priceless. We both laughed so hard that sometimes we both almost peed our pants. She always kept things exciting! Keep a look out every Friday for new stories to listen to.
