Adults with High Functioning Aspergers are just as vulnerable as
Adults with High Functioning Aspergers are just as vulnerable as adults with learning disabilities or autism.
Adults with Aspergers often have complex needs around depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance misuse and relationship difficulties. Individuals may commit offences, affecting their mental capacity, alongside their level of responsibility and can show little or no empathy with others.
Ben's Story... Ben came to live at Walmersley Road after a spell in a Young Offenders Institute, where they had diagnosed Aspergers Syndrome. When he first arrived, he lacked many daily living skills and was unable to live independently. Through a 2 year period, alongside the staff team and key multi-disciplinary professionals, his skills development around daily tasks in the home, attending appointments, budgeting and improving his social inclusion, greatly increased. With some prompting he is able to think "outside the box", recently moving out of Walmersley Road and successfully living independently in his own house, alongside reduced support from the outreach support team. Ben has gone back to college, completed a course in Welding and achieved his two first qualifications, and is looking forward to the future.
Don't forget..Walmersley Road outreach support service also provides practical, appropriate support to enable carers or parents to have regular breaks whilst having peace of mind that their loved ones are adequately supported at home or out in the community.
