I have Aspergers and I’ve lived alone for over 10 years my mum helped me get a flat and she still helps me with everyday things. I live mostly isolated and I struggle to care for myself.. I would like to live back with my mother but I am not allowed to. I don’t have any other supports other than my mum.. recently she has been sick and i am so scared she won’t be here anymore in future.
I don’t know what to do? I don’t know if I want to live in assisted living because it might be far away from where I live now and I could be even more isolated there.
I just want to live in a supported environment where I can ask people for help and always be looked after.. I can’t cope living alone anymore.
Maybe you could speak with your local council about potential supported living arrangements.
