Has anyone else here NEVER been "on Holiday" as an (Autistic) Adult? Either within the British Isles or, especially, leaving the Country.When at school, I was allowed - with the School - to visit The Isle Of Wight, and France, and then Belgium...But now that I am an adult (since leaving school)... London is as if imposed as a Prison, which financial constraints prevent me from ever escaping. And so I am curious as to whether anyone else has 'Never Really Been Allowed To Have A Vacation', just like myself...
Not sure what you mean by:
'Never Really Been Allowed To Have A Vacation'
What's stopping you?
I've already mentioned that my family background is insane. There was a period of years where my mother tried to prevent me from even leaving the house. I only went out shopping and even then if I was out for more than an hour there were rows and sulking. Even signing on was difficult. I was a virtual prisoner.

Glad Tidings, and I am glad that it is someone familiar (sort of) with myself upon this Forum that replied first. !
To reply to that which I quoted from your good self there. . the short answer would be... MONEY.
Yet I can perhaps identify - a little bit - with the rest. I live in a family house, and am often asked about where I am going if I leave it. It is both a good and a constraining thing. It is good to know that persons care about me, yet bad that it somewhat imposes upon one's freedom... and so I do not mind it so much. What I do mind is MONEY allowing one to go to anyplace. Which was the main question...?
