Thank you Jacqui, Linda and the entire Axia team.Thank you Dream for the recording.
Our pleasure
I found Jacqui’s presentation hugely thought provoking.
Advancing years have brought additional vulnerabilities to the forefront and I do fear for the future.
However, there are a lot of good people out there, researching and working in the field of neurodivergent people and aging, so I’m trying to not panic anymore than I do normally.
I also think that Jacqui’s workbook on Autistic aging is a very valuable guide to preparing for advancing years.
Once again Axia and especially Jacqui, huge thanks for an excellent PDSG.
Try not to panic Helen
Yes Jacqui’s workbook is immensely helpful
Thank you, Senior and Helen, it is always a pleasure and a privilege to be part of the post-diagnostic support groups at Axia.
I am so pleased that the workbook has been useful, Helen.
