why is everything for children, I know from personal experience there is very little help for single younger than 65 disabled women... everywhere I turn there just doesn’t seem to be any support especially at times like christmas

Hello @Khwai I know the feeling it is not only single women under 65 who are disabled. It is single men as well who need support. I understand your situation as well. I am in early fifties and now need to find some support ongoing health and disability. Had three years with mental health charity now told last month that tenure is up. I understand it is part of a lot of charities to limited time with them. As I am getting older it trying to replace that support and I will have to look around. I wish you the best in finding support and help. Being part of this forum helps and community.Community Champion

I know what you mean. I was diagnosed with Autism as an adult. (I was born in 1989; so unlike those born in the 2000s, I wouldn't have been diagnosed as a child if my parents had tried to seek a diagnosis when I was younger) I asked for support and was pretty much told no because I should have adapted to it now. Adapted to what, exactly? Being taken advantage of by so called friends? Not being able to deal with everyday things such as crowds?
It;s the same with my hearing and vision. There's no support for younger adults. I hear stories of parents moaning about having to wait for support. But at least their child is getting support. I had to beg to even get mobility training. And that was poor.
