Autism and dementia

Does anyone have experience of a probable autistic parent developing dementia? I can’t work out whether I should be trying to get a medical assessment when I’ve been told to look after myself and let 85yr parent look after themselves!

I suggest getting advice from your parent’s GP.

My mother's GP wouldn't speak to me because of patient confidentiality.

Not even in a general way and also not when she had an untreated health problem.
