One of the greatest challenges of working with adults with developmental disabilities is getting them to understand "appropriate" vs. "inappropriate" times for sexual behavior. This is something that struck very true to me, and made me happy to see it portrayed: that Matt saw his charge as a person with sexual needs shows a great sympathy that we unfortunately don't always see in people who deal with this population. So whether or not you intended it, kudos to you! I hope someone thinks of my loved ones' needs, should they ever require this level of care.
