Anyone know of any good resources on these subjects? I.e. not descriptive stuff but info on how to help from the outside in the role of parent/carer to young adults? Getting desperate here but reluctant to involve services because they tend not to be very autism friendly or aware.
Hi Jenny,There are some advice pages here on the site which might be helpful to you. I would suggest you have a look at the mental health section - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health - and some of the subtopics here, like depression, fatigue and catatonia. The autistic fatigue page in particular sounds like it might be most relevant to you - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health/autistic-fatigue/parents - and there are links to several other resources, personal accounts and podcasts at the bottom of the page. Hope this is of some help,Best wishes,Ross - mod
