and has been moved into a nursing home against her wishes. And they've even obtained a restraining order against her dad, who is also her caregiver!
She is Autistic and nonverbal. In no way, shape or form is she incompetent, however; she holds a degree from DU (your DU
), for Chrissakes! How do we get her out of there?!
