Andrew is a QIDP working in group homes and residential facilities in Asheville, NC. Andrew talks about America's disturbing history of its treatment of individuals with intellectual disabilities; the job stress of facing harsh, bureaucratic systems; the myth of the "dream job," and the day to day reality of caring for the most vulnerable within a fiercely individualistic society.
