8/8 The community N found to start his new life in Pittsburgh is wonderful. A spaceship, loosely resembling life on earth, but everything is a little prettier, a little easier, a little tidier. An assisted living facility, but for the young, and it works best for autistic people like N. An indefatigably beaming young staffer shows us around. The complex was built in 2015, but they take great care to make it look like brand new, always, and so it does. A fountain and beds of flowers in front of a law office. The Main Street is called Main Street, the Town Center is called Town Center, and the company where N will work is on Technology Drive.
