April 30 is Autism Seniors Day

Recognizing that autism will not magic away in old age. 

Also the fact that the thousands and thousands of young autistic adults of today will be the autistic seniors of tomorrow. 

What are the issues we will face as with both autism+Old Age? 

What kind of supports will we need?

The Autism Alzheimers Connection.

Alzeheimers and Oxidative Stress was the topic of study at my cell neuroscience course. 

Increasingly research is showing a link between Autism and Alzheimer's though they had been considered distinct neurological disorders in the past.

The point

This is a serious area of concern that needs to be looked at even more closely as the ever increasing numbers of autistic children (currently at 1:36) will soon join the ranks aging autistic seniors.
