By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Try to find a social worker that can help you navigate everything. It is a lot of work and confusing sometimes with all of the paperwork. If you simply cannot manage it, you may need to let your mom become a ward of the state. A social worker and or adult protective services can help you make that call. If you have any family at all, could you pull them in to help or at the very least advise?
You feel u may have Autism and have not been told this? You have been done a great disservice if you have not received the help a person with Autism can get. There should be a place near you that you can get help. Your still young enough to get these services. Testing to see where u fall on the spectrum. Training programs. Help getting jobs, a place to live. Autism is a recognized disability under Social Security.
now looking back, id say it was during my mid 20s when the first signs of his disease started to come out and we as a family, we just didn't have the knowledge at that time to figure out what it was.
Your Mom is "...living in assisted living with alzheimer's / dementia, anxiety, depression, incontinence, parkinson's disease, and vision problems."
"she is Non-verbal and doesn't know who I am. She got sick around the time I was 13"
So, what makes you think she has Parkinsons?
Who is her Medical Representative, MPoA or legal guardian? This is the person I would ask about her actual illness. If they won't tell you, I'd consider consulting with an attorney to get access to her medical records. What if she has a disease that you could inherit? I'd want to know. Shame on your family for treating you like a toddler.
There must be a reason. Geaton777, if the situation were normal, an only child (now already 20 years old) would be aware since a long time, what her mom’s diagnosis is. There must be a reason why the only child (OP) isn’t told.

Your family is keeping her health diagnosis secret from you. That’s very odd.
Maybe you’re disabled in some way, and that’s why they don’t tell you all the details?
It’s also unlikely that it’s dementia. If she’s non-verbal, can’t recognize you, she must have had brain damage, which can happen in a million ways.
When was she diagnosed and at what age was she at diagnosis?
