A 24-year-old male with a history of autism, 22 q deletion & seizures is seeking HPC services for a 12-16 hours per week.  He is needing some assistance with his morning routines with verbal prompts including having breakfast, ensuring his medications are taken, etc. before leaving for his day program.  He would require these services on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.  

This individual is a very sweet and friendly guy who is looking to have some fun on Wednesdays and every other Saturday to one Saturday per month, for HPC / HPC transportation to community outings in a non-modified vehicle.  He would enjoy going out to eat, to the zoo, to the movies, swimming, etc.  

While he generally is calm, he can sometimes be triggered by loud noises such as weather alarms, emergency vehicles with lights and sirens, babies or children crying and people shouting.  He does not enjoy crowded areas and sometimes needs to be redirected in conversation, as he can take his interests (especially cars and driving) to an obsessive level.  During these triggers, he can sometimes become moody or upset and displays signs such as staring and picking his fingers and sometimes displays self-injurious behavior. The HPC provider should be versed in dealing with occasional outbursts and be able to deescalate and redirect.
