Have found very minimal support for adults, I personally think it is a disgrace and discriminates against age. I am trying to write a complaint to my nhs trust about the non existence of support. I would urge others to do the same, I don't know if it will make a difference, but feel something should be done. I really feel for other adults who were on the spectrum, diagnosed or undiagnosed who have sadly no longer with us because things got too much for them.
Here in the US there is nothing in the way of support for adults. Children get very little support, if any, if they are not enrolled in the public school system.
there isnt any what I found. Okay I see a occupational therapist but it kind of muddling through. rely on people around me to help me but sadly very very little. I asked the same question 2 year ago when first diagnosed. A trusted friend asked me the same question. Children get all the support but adults get none :-(
There are a number of "Hospital" or "Health" passports online. Many of them are for people with learning disabilities but some are for autism. Google "autism" and "passport" and loads will come up.
A bit off topic but was Admitted to Hospital Wed Afternoon and i mentioned i had Aspergers along with other Medical Conditions i have, No one seemed to know what it was and since being in Hospital was a new thing for me it was a bit awkward, Any advice on that one?
If you have a local disabilty advice service, they might be worth contacting too. Even services which are not autism specific can be very helpful - for example, counselling, social skills training, benefits advice, assistance with approaching employers etc.
