I Exist – The message from adults with autism in England
Year of publication: 2008Author: Rosenblatt, Mia
Publisher: National Autistic Society (NAS)
Summary: This report considers the experiences of adults with autism and their families in England and examines the changes that are needed to transform their lives. Adults with autism say they need a range of support, yet many actually receive little or no help.The biggest gap between the types of support people want and what they actually receive is in the area of social support. The report recommends that local authorities should fund social support services, including befriending, social programmes, social skills and life skills training for adults with autism.
