A recent post from @TheCatWoman raised the subject of experiences and challenges of being an older autistic person.
Overall, there the conversation that followed was of strong support for collective advocacy, collaboration with autism organisations, and research that identifies the needs, barriers, and wellbeing factors for older autistic adults—particularly to improve healthcare, social care, diagnosis processes, and post-diagnostic support.
Yet when I searched for "autism and aging" in the NAS website I got no results.
This suggests that there is a need for us to get together to support one another on this topic.
I suggest that we might share and discuss resources on the topic of autism and aging through this thread.
Best Wishes
