High Functioning Autism and residential care

Hi,

I am just wondering whether anyone knows of any young adult / adult with high functioning autism who is in residential care. If so, how does this work? Are they with other HFA types or with people with learning disabilities / autism / elderly etc? 

We are wondering whether this would be the best place for our 19 yr old son as he can't plan his day, keep to routines, remember to get drinks or food, he doesn't wear appropriate clothing for the temperature or weather conditions etc.

However, we think he might benefit from the company of other HFA types who enjoy academic conversations and make no social expectations of other people.

thanks
