Hi Daizie,
Welcome to the forum. There's a huge gap in services for adults with ASD. Hopefully the Autism Act (due next April) will meet some of the needs of adults. Until then, it seems to be a case of searching for appropriate support and services then fighting like mad to get someone to pay for them.
How have you and your son managed since he left school?

Hi Daizie
Welcome ...... There has been some press coverage recently about the lack of employment for adults on the spectrum. Hopefully that's a sign that something might happen sooner rather than later.
Look forward to hearing more about yourself and your son.
