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 think the terminology may have been confusing for quite a few people. We have a section called Autism in Maturity, which is about this area of our work.
