I guess this may be a redundant question as people here seem quite able , but do you live independently or with family/group home? I live on my own. I get support with cleaning and shopping. Just had my care plan done. It says I have some difficulty with ADLs and the support is to allow me to continue living independently.

I've been independent for a long time. I was pretty lucky that I attained the functioning required for this.

I have lived for many years independently until last year when my stepfather died. I now am my mother's caregiver, so I voted 'family'.

Independently, but with some outside support (mostly informally from friends and family, but I'm being assessed for formal support at the moment.)

I live alone my parents do help me out with the house though. I would rather die than live with family or in a group home.

I live with family (parents) and 3 cats.

I guess I am able to function enough independently with limited support, but I'm still "blooming late".

I have lived on my own for the majority of my life but due to circumstances I'm staying with my family temporarily. Though that has turned out to be far longer than I had planned on.

I live with my girlfriend. I cant handle living by myself. I consider her family so I voted for Family

I live with family. If I had the money, I could live independently but I imagine it would be more stressful & tiring. I'm glad I don't have to go solo right now.

Independently. I went through Hell living with family and as a result, I will never be able to live with anyone ever again. My mom wouldn't let me leave home when I was 27, despite the fact she was abusing me. If I had to go into a group home, I think I would kill myself and I probably would if I had to move back in with "family" for some reason.

I live with my family. Haven't seen a reason to move out. I work.
My younger brothers are adults and non-aspie and they still live here, though the younger is going to college and is just home for the summer.
My older brother is aspie and lives independently...in a really boring, sparse apartment.

I live in my own apartment. It took some adjusting to really stay on top of things, but it's nice to have my own space.

Family now because I'm 17 (almost 18). But most likely group home or similar care facility eventually. I'd like one of those "independent living" arrangements where I have my own unit, but there's also staff to assist me.
