I have been asked to contribute to our local autism strategy meeting focussing on the future and was wondering if I could get some opinions.
I have a 28 yr old brother with autism/learning difficulty who lives independently with a lot of support from direct payments and the independent living fund. We employ all our own staff and he is pretty happy on the whole. The main things I would say could be considered as "missing" though are employment/voluntary work and also his community involvement is minimal, he tends to do everything one on one with a support worker.
Just wondering what you would hope for your children. Where we live there is very little autism specific housing and social support. Just wondering if for example this would be something you would consider to be important? Thanks :)
