Iris,
Over the last 15 years I've worked with assorted retarted, schitzophrenic, head trauma, and even alzheimers patients. Right now I work as a teachers assistant in a school for autistic children. I don't know what draws me to this line of work but I couldn't stop if I tried! Many days I feel like being commited myself but others are awesome, fun and very entertaining!!! The unfortunate Cynic incident was the only shirt to go in all those years.

Hi Christ,
Funny though..During my first study, i have worked with Alzheimer patients too. I loved that time! I used every "clear" moment those people had and it was nice working that way. In my opinion a very rewardfull and supportive method, you just give the attention when they actually need it, stipulating, conditioning. Sometimes, it worked...
Only problem was: my collegues were the ones that were "hospitalized", not the patients!
But it wasn't only the violence that made me stopped this work, i had a rough time accepting some "rules".
I sometimes signalized "too much", when it came to some pupils of mine. It was allowed to signalize, but i wasn't allowed to do something with it..and that bugged me as hell! I mean, to report it and then actually see other authorties, taking over because our department wasn't capable of supervising anymore, the behavious of those kids was too complex and after a lot of paperwork,they told me it wasn't my responsibility anymore..
Ok, fair enough but they didn't took care like they had too...but they DID took that pupil into their program. After a few times i started to do some research about the financial parts. Most authorities are state-aided...and they need the pupils to get the finance. Numbers count, not the results. Because, after a certain period of time, (some programs stop after 6 months), the pupils came back where they started from...us! So, after that accident and realizing that money DOES make the world go round, i quit the job...i was so disappointed in "the pigs who turn the screws"
because i discussed it with my collegues and manager. They just shrugged it off and i was told: " leave it alone, you're causing too many trouble". Fuckers, just too ignorant to realize, that if you ACT like a team you can do something about it but hell no! just go and take the easy way, why bother? we're getting paid, right?
and that's why i left in the second place, I just can't deny what i believe in--> "the truth" ...
Ok, call me an idealist but i am only thinking humane, it's just not fair..they don't get a proper treatement, they become puppets of society, just because money means more then "to-take-care-of".... it took me 5 years to quit the job.

Iris,
It was the clear moments that I found so hard to deal with. I would support and try to calm a person who'd just woken up to find that they were in a nursing home, far from where they'd lived or had grown up. It was heartbreaking!!! Far too depressing! Autism or M.R. is present at birth or has an early onset during childhood, so these people never know anything different. I can handle that much better emotionally. The fact that money, and not results, matters to an organization is more the reason that the people we're talking about need caring, supportive staff around to help them through their day. That's why I continue to do what I do. Somebody has to.
Bye,

P.S. Sorry to make this thread so heavy! I know we started out talking about t-shirts. WOW!!!

Hihi, i'm finally not the one who gets accused for making things so "emotional"!
And you're so right about the staff-thing...
Nah, i catch your drift Christ and i have the opposite of what you find hard to deal with. I don't know, those "clear" moments weren't so hard for me to deal with, i just got along with the emotions, i tried to empath..and that's what i'm good at
Autistic children well, i just can't handle that, it's so hard to get connected, i feel so helpless when/ if they show emotions and i can't seem to figure out what is going on in their heads and hearts at that moment. That's heartbreaking for me.
The fact that i replied is that i was glad to find out, that there was another "socio" on the board, i just wanted to share.
Keep up the good work and take care!

Whoah, this is heavy. All my petty concerns feel so shallow compared to this...my life is so meaningless.
Hey, my new shirts came! Okay, I'm back to being self-centered again.
Seriously, it's awesome that you guys are out there working with the less fortunate...most people (including me) could never dedicate themselves to that, especially not with the admirable patience you apparently show. Cheers.
