Autistics die younger and what can be done.

David

Have you heard that a survey was done in Sweden that Autistic people tend to die younger than the general population.  It does not mean that some Autistic people can live up to a Hundred Years Old.  Why do you think that Autistic people live shorter lives?  I have asked the NAS to do a campain and Autistica is also looking into it.  The N AS did say that they are going to talk to the Government.  It is important to do a campaign for older Adults as there has been a lot said about children on the Autistic spectrum.

  • It might also be that Autistic people do not know how to look after themselves.  I had an Uncle Desmond who might have been Autistic.  He died of mouth Cancer fifty years ago in Nice at around the age of Forty.  He should have gone to a Dentist and reported it earlier as it began with a sore mouth.  My Doctor gives me a special health check once a year.  In general no one  bothers to keep an eye on us as we are supposed to be responsible Adults.  It needs to be made clear to the public that Autism is more than just a personality problem.  It also needs to be made clear that Autism does not affect just children but also Adults.
