We take him cooked and uncooked food to Care Home. Do couple of activities. Wondering how to pull him out of withdrawal from making sounds or more effort in his work or activities
I don't want to be negative or cause you any worry, but I have had some difficult experiences with a group home that cared for my son. At one point, they shut him in his room and blocked the door so he couldn't get out. Six months later, another caregiver went home and left three helpless adults in soiled diapers, with all food and liquids locked up.
Please be mindful of who is caring for him, and remember that because he is nonverbal, he can't tell you what he is experiencing or what is happening to him. I made the mistake for many years of believing that my son was safe. Eventually, I had to get a lawyer involved.
That being said, I would also like to suggest taking your child for car rides. I still take my son for a car ride and through a nearby car wash. Then we go to a nearby Starbucks drive-through, where I get him a latte and a slice of banana walnut bread. It has become a routine that he loves, and he gets a big smile on his face when I go to his home to pick him up. He knows exactly what is going to happen.
He is now well cared for and happy in his new group home, and I am very grateful for that.
