I am a young adult and have an ASD diagnosis.
My life is unstructured with little routine at the moment and the best years of my life were when I used to live at a residential college for young adults with an ASD and I believe that is because the routine was very stable and that gave me the reassurance and motivation I needed to get through each day and complete schoolwork etc.
I know I will have less freedom and less options of things to do inside a secure unit but I know these units provide a strict routine for their residents and for me that is more important and I know I would benefit from that.
