nellie Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Lisa Thanks for sharing this with us. It is indeed a very tragic story, unfortunately it's not a one off. I have supported some parents with adult offspring on the spectrum and the stories are very sad indeed. The system sucks!! The needs of adults with AS are not recognised or understood. Nellie.
