Autism and Older Adults – implications for mental health services

In this presentation some of the key issues relating to working with older autistic adults within mental health services will be discussed including the challenge around diagnosis and some presentations (including dementia) and how we ensure that services are accessible for this group of people.

They key learning objectives are:

1. Increased understanding of autism and its impact within the older adult population.
2. Increased awareness of the role of reasonable adjustments to ensure autism informed mental health services for older adults.
