Okay so I've been doing a lot of thinking and reading last few days. My autism and mental health are in a terrible state at the moment, have been for ages and gradually getting worse over last few years. I have the usual asd problems and also some mental health problems which is causing my family a great deal of stress and worry which in turn makes them ill. I read online about autism care homes for adults and I'm seriously considering this for myself. Not sure how it will be though. Has anyone here had any experience of these homes? I'm not sure how they work, like is it through NHS or do you have to apply to the homes? I might call my doctor tomorrow and say about it and see what she says. Paying will be an issue as I've no job and I'm signed off from work because of my asd and my mental health. So hopefully they can fund for me.
I don't want to go into a home, the idea of that is absolutely horrible but I'd do it for my family as even though they say I'm not, I am a burden and life for them will be far better if I'm away and being looked after.
