could pixie explain what is the difference between caregiver & guardian ?
Yes ! Sorry is so long !
important to remember is probably different depending on where person lives . Pixie only know about Washington state in U.S.A. .
simple answer : caregivers do what person wants only and not can go against persons decisions . Guardians do what person needs and have legal authority to go against some of persons choices , but guardians are required to make choices in the person's best interest and not just arbitrary choices or just what's easier for the guardian .
Long answer :
caregiver is person come to Pixie home help with all activities of daily life and everything else Pixie need help with . They not can override Pixies choices . They not do things Pixie not want .
Caregivers can be family members or friends Or professional caregiver .
Pixie have professional caregivers , work with caregiving company , gets paid by some government agency .
Pixies caregivers help with :
making healthy meals and snacks
Strictly follow food diet and restrictions .
toileting and showering
Make sure drinking enough water
remind go bathroom regularly
changing clothes and diapers if needed
house cleaning
Wash dishes
Take Pixie out of house like go walk Or go to social activities or other places
emergencies
and so many other things !
Guardians Can also be family or friend or professional . Pixies guardians are chosen family and not get paid for it .
Guardianship can only be done by court Judge deciding person βincompetentβ , not able care for self in life-threatening ways , not able make appropriate decisions about life , health , money , big important things . Also include being safe for people ( like Pixie ) not able to understand when is being hurt or abused or taken advantage of .
Guardians can override Pixies choices in many different ways . Depending on how severe is person's disability , guardian can have more or less control over persons life .
Pixies guardians can :
Control all Pixies money . pay bills and rent and other things . Pixie get money ( allowance ) every month for Pixie to spend ( mostly ! ) on whatever Pixie want .
Make doctor Dentist therapies and other appointments and will make Pixie go whether Pixie want or not .
Give Consent ( or not !) on behalf of Pixie , whether Pixie agree or not , in all legal situations that require consent ( not social situations , Pixie still have right to consent ( or not ! ) socially and decide who be friends with ) .
sign all legal paperwork , Pixies signature is generally meaningless because Judge decide Pixie not understand things good enough .
Some guardians can also control who person can be friends with , but not Pixie .
Pixie still allowed to vote , but not all people with guardians allowed vote
Pixie not allow drive
Police not can talk to Pixie if not have guardians ( same with children )
Know this really long with lots words , is complicated thing ! If have questions please to ask and Pixie do best to answer !

New Zine!! Relying On Caretakers As A Disabled Adult - free to download!
β This is a quarter sized zine that prints on two sheets of paper, it talks about some of the complexities around relying on caretakers as a disabled adult β
For a teeny bit of context about me: I am an autistic, ambulatory wheelchair user, living with multiple medical conditions that frequently require constant watchful care or hospitalization.
I am also a complex trauma survivor, which does shape my experience but isn't touched on in this zine. Please keep in mind that this was written from my lived experience perspective and may not accurately reflect the lived experiences of other disabled people, even those with overlapping diagnoses, symptoms, and demographics!
I tried to keep this one on the shorter side, but as a result did have to cut several planned topics for space :O
disability is complicated and tangly to talk about and hard to abbreviate because there is so much nuance, and i tend to be a pretty long and wordy sort of creature. i miiiight make another one at some point talking about more topics within this or going more in depth, so if there is any specific thing anyone wants to see discussed in a future zine let me know!
