The first book to look seriously at the practical issues facing older adults with autism spectrum conditions (ASC), Wenn Lawson's groundbreaking handbook offers support, advice, and sensible ways in which to look at the issues.
Informed by current research, interviews with older people diagnosed with ASC and his own experience, the author covers a multitude of issues including dealing with transitions and changes to routine, communicating an individual's particular needs and wishes to care home staff, the social and financial impact of retirement, mental health, and sensory and physical changes and challenges.
Older people with ASC and their family and friends, as well as the professionals supporting them, will find this an indispensable and accessible book.

"As an adult women diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum - Aspergers at age 53 I welcome a book like this. I am generally healthy, yet have co-occurring medical conditions that until last year, I did not realize were often a part of the overall Autism picture. Epilepsy, sensory processing challenges, and anxiety are a part of my Autism diagnosis. I'm looking forward to reading this book and will update my thoughts as soon as I have finished it. I've purchased the kindle edition for my Mac so I'll begin reading it this afternoon. I hope to add it to the rich resources that are already in my library, including books by Tony Atwood, Rudy Simone, Temple Grandin, Cynthia Kim, Lianne Willey Holliday, Phillip Wylie and Thomas Armstrong. I've also pre-ordered NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman and look forward to it's delivery when it is released next week. The reviews promise the book to shed an expanded light on Autism and Aspergers and that in fact for various reasons, the whole story has not come out until now."
