Do it yourself Make-A-Wish!

ya.. never been to disneyland... even tho i very much want to...

you see.. i am 34 years old and totally in love with disney, even though alot of people think i should grow out of disney... NEVER!

also, i have been just recently diagnosed with a low grade type of autism, called aspergers syndrome, one of the things about this, is that i am VERY sensitive to loud noises, namely fireworks... one thing that might keep me away...

another thing is that i am extremely broke... i am workin on getting myself back on my feet... already got food stamps back, and things are lookin up... so traveling is definitely outta the question, with being out of employment and all... i live in ohio alone... -parents in texas, sister in chicago, and brother in philly.

even if i did have the money, it must go to finding me a new place to stay, since my lease is up in may... and i will be outta of an apartment, i am workin on solutions to this, but this is kinda besides the point.

with all these burdens, i am glad there is this site, that can keep my dreams alive... and hopefully one day in the future, i can finally visit disneyland, a very secret and very very deep dream of mines... just to experience one day of disney magic would be so special to me.... i will continue to work to make
it a reality...

thanks for reading...

Well, the aspergers syndrome doesn't need to be a deterrent. In fact there was a thread here somewhere, probably in Trip Planning about parents taking their children who have it to Disneyland, and how to manage it. As for the financials, well, that's a bit tougher. Two people I now went through all the procedures to get disability income and suplemental income, and that is quite a lenghty and difficult process. But don't be discouraged. You'll get there someday.

Okay I just searched for the keyword aspergers on VF. This is the thread I was thinking of: Son has Aspergers/Autism - suggestions?
