Supported living

Deleted user
over 5 years ago

I live with my parents at the old age of 38. I know.  As an Aspie I will not cope when I am by myself. 

So, as a matter of course should all on the Aspies be offered Supported living.  If you can cope by yourself you can turn it down.

I know funding is always an issue, but the money saved by having to use the NHS might be significant.

    I think a lot about this kind of thing from a slightly different angle. I'm 58 so I wonder about ageing and how independent I will be, particularly if I outlive my husband. 

    Most typical housing schemes would be pretty stressful for me. I'm more interested in autistic led co-housing or intentional community options if there is any such a thing in the UK. 

    I use community in a loose sense. I looked at a typical co-housing project a few years ago - far too much emphasis on social contact for me. I feel isolated living in a community of gregarious people, like when I was at college.
