What has happened since Tuesday
Since Tuesday a lot of stuff happened. As I already posted my mom told me on Tuesday that I will move into another care home than the one that was planned at first and I will move in there on 4th April.

I didn't react with a meltdown or crying at first but I had a lot of meltdowns in the last days and I even destroyed my phone in a meltdown on Wednesday. Luckily I had enough money in my room so the boss of the care home drove Wednesday in the afternoon to the electronics store in the next city and bought the one I wanted. Since today I also have a out door phone case the protect my phone from meltdowns.

On Thursday I and the boss of the care home tried to talk with the boss of the new care home on the telephone but I had a meltdown. Than he talked with her alone and he was good in advocating for my needs and that are important for me. Then my accommodations were sure (It's logical a home for disableds but disabled people have different needs so they need to be treated differently in some things.) But I still was scared because I didn't know exactly how moving will look like and how the measurements of my room will be so I couldn't plan furniture. Now I know all these stuff.

I think the new care home will be better than my current one or at least as good as my current one.
But I'm also scared. I want to share some facts about my new care home.
- The organisation is specialised on intellectual and psychiatric disabilities (Autism is a psychiatric condition according to the Austrian system of disability categorisation.)
- The care home is in a single family house and only 5 residents live in it
- While day 3 caretakers are at the care home and 1 while night. In the night the caretaker sleeps but the residents of the care home are allowed to wake them up if they need help. That are much more caretakers than in my current one and in my current one live much more residents.

- The care home is specialised on people with severe emotional regulation or behaviour disorders.
- I don't need to go to a special workplace / day centre at the new care home and if I want I can go but the special workplace / day centre of the organisation has only open from Monday to Thursday and only from 8 a.m to 12 p.m which is much less than my current one. (I will not go to the special workplace/ day centre at first but when I'm at the care home for a while I will talk about it with the caretakers or boss of the care home.)
- It's unfortunately much more further away of my family than my current one but I hope it will be better although these fact because the new care home is especially for people like me.
