older and elderly autistic adults

I'm a researcher but also a parent of two autistic adults.  I'm conducting a research study as part of my post-graduate degree focusing on older and elderly autistic adults, in particular the support they receive once they reach retirement age; where they are living; who's advocating for them; and just how safe are they.  I'm interested in hearing families' views and experiences and if anyone is happy to share this information with me please reply to this post.  Thank you.

  • I'm happy to be contacted as a 65 year old asperger doctor researcher -- recent major problems with the law due to suicidal thinking and computer use. Average life expectancy is 54-58 I gather.
