Getting help for Dylan

Could you imagine getting a little help from Social Security for your severely Autistic son and they send you a letter saying they over paid you during the summer when you were off from teaching school. Now Dylan will get around $100 a month which won't even cover his pull ups. Crystal has a college education with two majors. She is head pre -school teacher and Director over the pre -school at the Center for the Arts. She gets minimal amount from her ex husband to take care of the kids. She struggles. What does the Country want these parents to do? The ones who take care of their kids by themselves. Go on public Assistance????????? Come on. She is able to work and wants to work. But she needs help. Come on America.... Wake up. Let's take care of our disabled and elderly. God Bless from a frustrated Grandma.
