With all due respect, his parents can keep him, and he can still have a fulfilling and wonderful life.

The idea that you have to put a disabled person into a residential facility is deeply unfair to the individuals. You’re basicly saying then ‘they can’t do it on their own, and their parents can’t deal with the challenges involved’.

Sometimes that is true, absolutely, and thats why group homes exist.

I work in group homes, and I have a brother whose disabled. As long as my sister and I are capable of providing for his care, he will never be in a group home. We can do better for him than that.
