The older person on the spectrum and the downplaying of how they're doing

This is really bad of people to be so dismissive! I have a number of family members in their 70's who don't get any support, because they don't need it, in fact my mother-in-law still works full time as a support worker. IF someone is getting support then it is for a reason, such as disability. There seems to be a reluctance of people to accept that someone actually has a disability though!
