Autism and Ageing. Dr Wenn Lawson, Sept. 2016

This talk focuses upon autism and ageing. It briefly explores five key areas - memory, movement, sensory profiling, language and autonomy. The talk will draw from the larger body of general research around ASC with regard to ageing. Neurologically typical (NT) seniors (despite the aging process) will present differently to adults with ASC with respect to these five key areas. All of the above come packaged in an individual with their unique personality and circumstances. ASC is not an issue where one size fits all, so every aging person with ASC will need individual support. Having said this though, there will be certain traits and issues that are likely to apply to all seniors with a diagnosis of ASC. It is these traits in common that guide the content of this short presentation. The aim of this talk is not only to impart some facts, it is also to help reduce anxiety about autism and ageing and build hope for the kind of future we wish to experience.
