Hi TJ, with the problems with noise/things going on around you are there any worse times of the day for you e.g when more things are going on.........when people come out of any groups they're doing.......when other people are noisier?? Just wondering if you could pre-request escorted walks more around that/those times of the day. Maybe get you away from the worst times and give you that bit of one-to-one time as well??
Have you got your headphones back yet though?? Just thinking they might help you zone out a bit. Or if not maybe you could have them for shorter periods while supervised??
And yes, the more "normality" you can hold onto.........so any particular routines you had when you were at home which you can integrate a little into your routines there?? Or any more familiar things from home you'd be allowed there.
And although maybe not the same........light hearted chats or chats when the support workers aren't available..........have you tried the chatrooms on here?? Afraid I'm no authority, haven't been there myself!! but.............???
