AGEING AND AUTISM - A BIG CONVERSATION

We have created this space for older autistic people to share their worries and their hopes about their lives in the hope of building a conversation around what it means to be growing old as an autistic person.

We have asked a few of our autistic associates and contacts to write ‘conversation starters’ explaining what matters to them and the issues that need to be addressed to help older autistic people live happier lives. In some cases, they offer possible solutions.

For more information about the BIG Conversation, please visit our website on https://www.ndti.org.uk/change-and-development/autism-programme/ageing-and-autism-a-big-conversation.

We have also developed a survey where we're asking to hear about autistic people's experiences of ageing, their fears and their wishes.  To complete a survey please follow this link.
