My wife has a 42 year-old brother, Lucio, who is schizophrenic with symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome (which is related to autism). He has been living at Stimulo in Cuernavaca for just over one year. Prior to that he was under daytime supervision for two years. However, he has recently exhibited violent behavior towards staff and residents to the extent that he needs more specialized and personalized treatment. He has become a safety risk, they have done what they can at the facility and the director hopes that we can find a solution by Tuesday, February 19.

Residential treatment facilities for individuals with Lucio's disorder are very difficult to find. Because of our financial situation, it only complicates matters. (Our daughter is also ailing. She has a 5 mm tumor in her pituitary. We still do not know whether it is cancerous or benign.) Our priority is to assure the safety of Lucio, our family and relatives and those who associate with Lucio. I am open to suggestions, for those of you who might have them.
