ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Turning eighteen is often presented as a doorway to independence. For many autistic young people, however, it can feel more like reaching the edge of a map. Supports available through childhood may suddenly shrink or disappear just as adult life becomes more complicated. Education, employment, relationships, independent living and healthcare can all demand new forms of navigation at once. This abrupt loss of support is sometimes described as a “services cliff”, and it helps explain why the transition into adulthood deserves far more attention than it has traditionally received.
