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.

How do you cope with ageing?
I see ageing as a horrible thing that slowly eats us!
I see ageing as a wonderful experience and I'm looking forward to it! After all, the only alternative is rather less attractive : /
