Assessment of Needed Services 
Prepared 4 August 2014  

Immediate Goals (September to December 2014) 
Finding a flat/room in a shared house in the Boston area by November and signing the lease (or sub-lease if necessary)  
Current issue: earlier plans to share a flat with a friend had fallen apart, and it was impossible to co-ordinate other plans, causing a tight situation where temporary (possibly out of state) solutions had to be found - need to be in a household that’s disability-/neurodiversity-friendly 

Finding work that works well with skill-set and experience (graphic/web design, especially for organisations and government offices); this can either be on-site or off-site contracting 
Current issue: Craigslist/Idealist searches are largely fruitless; difficult to find anything really relevant there; not having much luck asking people in immediate social circle either - how to find/create unlisted positions? 
	•	Connecting to the appropriate people to find the right work 
	•	Learning skills beyond just checking Craigslist etc 
	•	Assistance with career networking beyond immediate social circle 

Signing up for MassHealth/accessing health care
Current issue: need access to health care - previously provided through university - in order to keep receiving medications etc. 
	•	Transfer prescriptions from previous doctor 
	•	Connecting to Fenway Health Clinic? 
	•	Finding a neurodiversity-friendly therapist  

Help with strategising/dealing with executive dysfunction, inertia and reduced motivation (tied in with ASD + depression) 

Medium Goals (January 2015 onwards) 
	•	Maintaining sustainable work 
	•	Signing up for community-college classes in subjects that weren’t covered in degree  
	•	Decide what postgraduate qualifications (either Master’s or PhD) to get
	•	Renew passport

Long-Term Goals (late 2015 onwards) 
	•	Apply to postgraduate programmes in the UK in the chosen field 
	•	Contact organisations devoted to helping people earn degrees abroad
