Susan Senator’s son Nat Batchelder thrives on routine. Batchelder is 36 and has profound autism, meaning he requires round-the-clock support and struggles to communicate when he is stressed. Batchelder lives in a group home in Boston. Like many parents of children with autism and other intellectual disabilities, Senator worries his behavior could be misinterpreted when he’s in environments with people who haven’t been specifically trained to support him. “If there’s a change, or if there’s somet
