I ask this because as an older person (62) I feel that nobody knows what to do with us as we age, help thats right for children isn't right for us, what will happen when we start getting age related conditions like dementia? Will we be tested as an NT person, will the tests be adapted for us? I mean it's no good putting down communication difficulties as a sign of cognitive decline when someones always had them?
How will we be accomodated in a care home? Will we be pushed in front of the telly that we hate, made to do sing songs to music that upsets us, will we just be seen as difficult and treated with a chemical cosh?
Will our generation be the ones where all the mistakes and abuses are made, whereby it will get better for those who are now in their 20's and 30's?
Do you think we should start agitating now and trying to put these questions forward before it's to late and we're unable to advocate for ourselves or each other?
