frustrated

Hello

Just seen the events page and the advert for National Autism week in Schools.

I am an adult with Autism and there virtually no information out there for us. I guess it is assumed either it don't exist in adults or that we have learned our ways of coping by time we are adults.

But more adults are being diagnosed on the ASD Spectrum. But nothing out there for us to tap into. We stumble through

How about a National Autism/ASD week or Day for Adults on the ASD Spectrum - especially for those who only been diagnosed in their adulthood.

Please since this is a people community board I hope someone from National Autism Society is seeing this and start to change things regarding help for adults diagnosed with Autism. Lots of books and DVD's for families and the younger end but what is there for the older end. Just one little article in the journal about those reaching pension age and the changes they may have to make. 

Tired of everything about children - not that am tired of children don't misunderstand me, but there is nothing much to help us.

Rant over but hopefullly someone is reading who can help  hopefully someone will delete this one as duplicated for some technical reason thanks

  • I totally agree with this, it's like all our problems stop after 18, or even after about 12. What I find annoying aswell if the amount of resources for partners/parents/siblings/teachers/practitioners. Surely the people WITH autism need the most support. If I see one more story about how hard it is to know someone with autism....

    Second rant over ;)
