Bonjour
Je n’ai pu avoir la traduction mais j’ai compris votre dénonciation du mauvais traitement des personnes atteintes du syndrome autistiques en France Qui avec ses 20 ans de retard ,ose encore proner la psychanalyse pour nos enfants .Alors oui je suis de tout coeur avec vous pour bannir denoncer et condamner ces agissements barbares que sont le packing et autres méthodes d’un autre age qui detruisent des vies Nous attendons avec impatience ce projet de loi en France qui demande l’interdiction de la psychanalyse comme traitement de l’autisme Je suis une mère et grand mère d’enfants autistes Merci

Comment on Autism and Aging: What Happens when Children with Autism Grow Up by MM Quigley

I have recently become a stepmom to a 31 year old autistic boy/man. It is frightening to see how little information is out there about adult autism. Our son is, fortunately, high functioning… He is employed, drives, cooks for himself, cares for himself. His social skills are about half of his chronological age which can make interactions at work very challenging. He is very sensitive to loud noises which makes it difficult if someone in a nearby cubicle plays music or if people are talking loudly near his work area. He has a problem initiating phone calls which means he is challenged by simple tasks like calling out of work if he is sick. He has been living in an efficiency apartment over a family member’s garage. We recently moved him into a small house. Although he has managed his cell phone bill and car insurance in the past, now helping him set up utilities in his name and explaining what renters insurance is for without causing major anxiety has been a challenge. Figuring out how much he or isn’t able to handle in this process has been a learning experience for his whole family and we are still hoping that we haven’t put him in a situation that is too much for him. The move was very stressful for him, but his stress seems to be decreasing gradually as he gets into a routine. But the first time a smoke detector goes off or the electricity goes out are going to be scary moments for all of us.

When I look for information about job skills coaching, I find very little. Questions about whether he will develop beyond his current social skills level and studies about continuing skills development in autistic adults is hard to come by. He was diagnosed as a child when no one really knew what autism was. He clearly got good guidance and tremendous dedication from his (late) mother that account for how highly functiioning he is. There is a huge population of autistic children today who will need these answers in the next 10 – 15 years, so why is there so little information now? There is great information about legal and financial issues to be considered, but what is the most effective way to coach and continue development of an autistic adult? How are issues such as isolation and health and being sedentary best discussed with an autistic adult? So many more resources are needed for this group!

I need it myself. I have not heard of you but you were suggested to be as smart as me . I was an exceptional child that was argued in the house of commons to bring Bill 82 into existence. I am equated with Einstein by the testings then. I have written theoretical quantum physics/mechanics but have no one able to no be overwhelmed and have solved Nostradamuses wheel and book. Will you read it? I hand wrote it so I will have to mail it. Its about what’s going on now in the world. Tx tanya
