H Mansour et al

This study explored the healthcare experiences of 19 autistic adults aged 65 and over in the UK, revealing that they face lifelong challenges related to misunderstanding, lack of tailored support, and gaps in care. Key themes included struggles with late diagnosis, service inaccessibility, and anxiety about aging with limited support. The findings highlight the need for better-informed, consistent healthcare services that actively involve autistic older adults in shaping their care.
