My Pandemic

Mark 7/15/2021 I’ve been in had a big change in my life. I was very lonely all the time. Now I am with my friends. It is very hard to be in a group home during the pandemic. It is a lonely life to be in a place where there are no friends or family. The happy feeling was being with friends. My friends at %COMPANY% are understanding of me. They are so nice and welcoming to me. Really is the best place to work as someone with autism. The work is challenging me but also fun. If you can imagine not working with your peers. I never got that chance but now i do. You can’t imagine how good it feels to go to work with my friends The thing I looked forward to was being able to be understood. Typing my words us very important to me.
