Thankfully things have changed now. Parents, siblings, spouses can now be part of the paid staff. My wife and I have other work we do too. So we cover what we can.

He has 1 guy/peer who does a lot to get him out in the community and activities. Sports games, pet shop, fishing, etc. and his nephew does a lot of gaming stuff with him too.

live long and prosper as best you can
