Not officially, but I've usually had a girlfriend, wife or flatmate who could help with executive functioning deficits. When I'm living without another adult, like now, I'm in constant danger of having utilities cut off, missing deadlines, forgetting meetings, etc. It's a rather selfish reason why I'm looking forward to moving in with my girlfriend.

I used to have an official paid carer, until that was reviewed to be ended and the council started to focus on children and younger adults with the same complex needs.

Well, I'm 15(chronologically), I have heard the horror stories of internal and mental collapse following turning 18 and being thrust into adulthood... I forget to look both ways sometimes! ...I'm scared.
