I have been looking at having a mental health team and am considering being referred for mental health support in the future. There should be residential mental health care facilities that provide respite for autistic adults who plan on focusing on getting professional help and who also need space from their families.
Hi NAS90559, it's good that you're looking at mental health support. You can find advice and information on how to go about seeking help, including links to other mental health resources and details of helplines and listening support services, here: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/mental-health/seeking-help.
You may be able to find residential mental health care facilities that provide respite for autistic adults in our Autism Services Directory. You can find the Directory here: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory.
I hope these help.
Best wishes,
Anna Mod
