Autism and Ageing.

David
over 11 years ago

I am fifty-six so I am now involved with the Autism and Ageing Campaign the National Autistic Society is doing.

I mentioned this campaign on the World Autism Support Network and got a reply from someone involved.

The right place is to discuss it in this Community.

There is not a space for campaigns so I was not sure where to mention this campaign.

It is important for people to realise that children do not grow out of their Autism.

If we live to a hundred we will still be Autistic.

That is why it is important for Doctors and Nurses and other people who work in the National Health Service are aware of Autism.

    I've been trying to find out more about this, and it doesn't seem to be current on the NAS website, except in a reference to a House of Lords Debate which refers to Baroness Greengross, a champion of facilities for the aged, having recently chaired a commission on autism and ageing. 

    It has been picked up on by several medical journals as a new issue. Could NAS give some publicity to it?

    Meantime it would seem this is a useful forum in which to discuss autism and ageing.
