Research from the Autism Alliance shows that over 10,000 autistic adults in England are not getting the social care they need. Tragically, over three quarters reach crisis point without care, leading to family breakdown and for some, admission to mental health hospitals, where they can face excessive restraint, medication and the risk of abuse.
People with an eligible need for social care should receive that care, but the law is being broken daily across the country because of a lack of investment. Autistic adults and their families are being pushed to breaking point.
