Parent of an adult who is disabled.

Yes, it's all that, and continues to be. Supports you thought would be there for your child suddenly disappear and the larger society has no idea of the challenges that creates for the person with a disability and the family.

In 1931 Clifford Clinton opened the first of several cafeterias in Los Angeles, Clifton's at 618 Olive Street, in Downtown L.A. (it's a parking lot, now but a nearby one sort of survives nearby). He had a simple philosophy of never letting anyone go hungry.

He's the rep for the area where I grew up. Ugh.

Just because he said he had an MRI doesn't mean he had an MRI.
