older and elderly autistic adults

NAS49652
over 5 years ago

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 163 years old and retired. I have the full support of the NHS and Social Services in all their glory what more could I need in my cardboard box under the railway cuttings at the side of the canal while my family are in their detached houses which are empty as they go skiiing or to the Maldives for winter.  Life is just amazing even though leprocy has left me with just one left thumb which I talk to as my trusted companion - I am never lonely.  

    Please refer to the rules and gain proper verification. 

    I wish you luck with your research and hope you take it forward afterwards as it is valid research.
