Summer is more than sunshine

Summer is more than sunshine — it’s a reminder of time’s gentle passage. As days grow longer, let’s also reflect on how aging impacts autistic individuals.
At Ageing Autism project, we’re dedicated to ensuring that autistic adults receive the support they deserve as they age. Our international initiative develops training for professionals in education, healthcare, and social services—helping them meet the unique needs of autistic adults.
With summer’s warmth, it’s important to shine a light on:
Sensory changes that can intensify with heat (light, temperature, etc.)
Mental & emotional wellbeing (challenges like anxiety or isolation)
The impact of seasonal shifts on routines and comfort.

Together, we can create environments that respect sensory differences, enhance quality of life, and empower autistic adults to age with dignity—this summer and beyond.
