First Timer Seeking Advice

Hello, 

My name is John, I live in north London with my family.

I am a new member posting here for the first time.

I would love to get some advice from you.

My brother lives alone and has done so for the last 15 years.

He has lived in his flat all his life.

He has recently scored very highly on the ‘autism’ test.

I am not surprised as I have suspected autism for a number of years. 
(What is surprising is that his GP never suspected)

He has severe social anxiety so is very isolated and lonely.

There is also a hoarding issue, which I am currently trying to deal with.

He also recently had a psychotic episode resulting in hospitalisation for over 2 months.

His home is in need of a complete upgrade.

Everything needs doing - new kitchen, bathroom, central heating, flooring, rewire etc etc.

I have found a building company to do the work.

This is a great opportunity to get his home just right for him.

What should be incorporated in the design to meet his needs?

For example, are there colour schemes that are ‘autistic friendly’?

Any advice greatly appreciated.
