You should be involved in these things if you are on the same level as others. For instance, things are different at work than at home. We typically have a lot more say at home than we do on the job. But, we do have some say.

The trick is getting yourself to swallow and (fake some self-confidence) speak up. Try to word things carefully, so no one is offended, but tell others what you would like to see happen.

Very best wishes to you!
Thank you for responding Shez! I like where I work for the most part. Unfortunately it is just a temporary placement. I have difficulty planning and making decisions. I don't have much say at home because my family members are not people you can reason with or have much influence over. If I do convince Mom of something she will forget shortly and I'll have to start all over. I do appreciate that you replied. My only real world contacts are therapy and work and grocery shopping.
