No disrespect, but I think papis food is terrible. It wouldn’t be a crowd pleaser for everyone.

Hersh’s Pizza and Drinks is a great move for dinner

I will PM you in a few here, I want to make sure I have all my thoughts right. Thank you

I work in the field. I've never heard of an agency requiring an "updated" diagnosis. Most adults with whom I work were diagnosed at age 2. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk further.

I am not sure if it’s still open but my now husband took me to that magic show place called Illusions in fed for our second date and it was awesome!

He does need treatment, my original post has been editted, because I misrepresented what I meant to say. I apologize for that.

He has anxiety, and needs help with Vocational skills. He does not need behavioral help. He manages himself for the most part, no "meltdowns" or "out bursts". He just gets lost in what he is doing, and if its right.

Does this make sense?

Home Maid if you're cool with more of a lunch/brunch vibe.

Several support groups in the area we tried to enroll him with. (Autism Society Balt-Cheseapeake, League for People, and a few others)

We have an SSI appointment in a few weeks. I assumed they would also want it, but he had been on SSI before, and they still have copies of all of his paperwork, so I could be wrong there.

If you’re not seeking treatment, why do you want an updated diagnosis? The answer to that will direct my recommendations.

What groups are telling you an "updated" diagnosis is needed? Are you trying to get DD funding?

First impressions right!

But I guess that’s more on me

That sounds like a better bet. Thanks!

Food recommendations?

I've gone to Papi's for like ten first dates. It's a crowd pleaser

If their last trip to the aquarium was within the last decade, a little bit. Musuem of Visionary Arts instead?

Slightly, but theres nothing wrong with basic.

short rides cost more because there is a fixed fee to start. an 8min ride would be a much shorter distance than the average bus trip. also, many of those companies offer subscriptions that offer a handful of free rides per day. if memory serves, one of them was $16. compare that to the unsubsidized cost of a monthly transit pass of about $300-$350.

​

the problem with the docked bikes is that they're more expensive to manage and not as convenient because they aren't as distributed. docked can work somewhat ok as long as an efficient company is running it. the city running it would be multiple times more expensive. simply not worth it, especially given that it's so unlikely that it would be done well.

until someone makes better Taiwanese fried chicken, the Ekiben hype is deserved

So in my experience then the micro-mobility stuff in New Orleans beats the cost of the bus here per mile, but in Baltimore it's actually more expensive to use the bike share. The city really does need to subsidize this stuff more if they want it to be more useful. Bringing back the docked bikes would probably help if they could manage it correctly this time.

You’re welcome!

Copy that.

And sounds like a great improvement. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the response!

FYI, the buses in Baltimore cost about $3 per passenger mile.

If they were subsidized like buses, they would be more energy efficient and faster.

Which rental mobility scooters are available?

The bird e-bikes and scooters are far too expensive to be practical for most people. I'm not even really sure they're much cheaper than an uber.

For a point of comparison -- I rode a Blue Bike e-bike in New Orleans a couple months ago for for 20 minutes and it was $4.38. I also rode it for 54 minutes a seperate time and it was only $12. I rode a Bird e-bike for 8 minutes in Baltimore and it was $4.50.

Rental bikes and scooters and mobility chairs are already available in Baltimore.

You are objectively correct. Take my upvote.
