Supported Living For 16 Year Old

Hi - I wondered if anyone had any experience of supported living options for a 16 year old who is neuro-diverse? My daughter is adamant that she wants to leave home at 16. She is very headstrong and won’t adhere to boundaries at all. I don’t want her to leave home but I would like to research suitable options for her as I believe she may just “take off” if I don’t!

    • Hi my son has autism and a very old  friend of mine I found out was working in the system for assisted living and obviously I wanted to know what the deal was incase my son needed it anyway my friend told me she thought that honestly fir what the parents were paying for this that their adult autistic kids were NOT getting much back. That's all I know as she quit the job now and does care for people with alzhiemers now. It just made me feel that fir me I'd rather be there myself for my son if the people are half hearted or overworked or I don't know what reason is but she say for what you pay you're not getting the care you should.
