CARING FOR SENIORS WITH AUTISM | SENIOR CARE - PARENT GIVING
Image credit: balouriarajesh / Pixabay
When we hear about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we often think about small
children and the challenges they will need to face throughout their lives, but
most often than not we forget that these children will grow up and turn into
young adults and then seniors.
Although autism can’t be cured, there are many approaches that you, as a
caregiver - whether you are a beloved family member or a paid professional - can
make to facilitate the life of an elderly that has been diagnosed with ASD.
Autism Spectrum Disorder can be diagnosed at any stage in life, however, when it
is rather later than earlier, it can be a little more challenging - but not
impossible - to adjust. If diagnosed at a later stage in life, usually, a series
of changes in the daily routine and care needs to be made.
If the diagnosis was made in the early years, this is something that you will be
more accustomed to and dealing with a senior with Autism could be a little less
changeling for the family.
We must all agree that one of the most important aspects of our existence is
having a good quality of life, and so, with that in mind, here are some great
tips on how to take care of seniors with ASD.
Image credit: 422737 / Pixabay
KEEPING A DAILY ROUTINE
In general, individuals with ASD need a healthy daily routine. These simple
everyday tasks will be extremely powerful as they will reinforce a feeling of
happiness, stability and overall well-being. When these feelings are surfaced
and experienced, it will be much easier for them to accept and handle other
changes when needed.
A great proactive plan is to sit down and make a morning schedule or a to-do
list with the ASD senior. The routine must be straightforward and easy to
follow. Some examples can include healthy meal times, short walks - if possible,
an art class, medication at a specific time of the day, attending a support
group, quality family time.
Also, keep in mind that a hygiene routine should be included. Reminding the
senior with ASD of the good points of their appearance can be a good way of
encouraging healthy hygiene habits.
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE
It is imperative to ensure that the environment is prepared according to the
difficulties of each individual.
For example, if the elderly person has difficulty moving around, it is essential
to avoid slippery rugs, floors and cluttered spaces. Another idea is to install
wall bars around so they can walk freely when needed.
SOCIABILITY IS A MUST
To improve the individual's quality of life diagnosed with Autism, a key element
is social interaction.
Whenever possible, seniors should attend a support group. Support groups can be
a great place for them to identify with other people that face the same everyday
challenges.
Always go slow and see how they feel - they don’t like being pushed too hard
into doing something they are not 100% comfortable with and sure about. A good
idea is to start nice and easy, with an easy topic and then add someone else
into the conversation.
Since social interaction can be harder for seniors with ASD, support groups
could be added to the routine.
FAMILY SUPPORT CAN BE LIFE-CHANGING
To ensure good self-esteem and results in individuals with autism in older
stages in life, it is important to have a good, caring and healthy family
environment.
Although it is not always easy to deal with elderly and autistic patients, the
family is one of the most important roles in this process.
BE KIND TO THEIR SENSITIVITIES
People with autism are far more sensible as their senses are sharper than
normal. Music and general noises will sound louder in their ears, lights can
appear much brighter for them and smells can feel stronger.
With this in mind, try to find out which one of these senses can be a trigger
and work towards minimizing it. A lower TV and radio can be more accommodating
while dimming the light or using side lamps can do the trick for avoiding
distractions and stress.
WATCH OUT FOR THE NON-SPOKEN LANGUAGE
Autism affects the way people communicate, especially seniors, so you will need
to be extra sensitive when it comes to understanding what they need and figure
out what is going on with them.
Simple questions such as “How are you feeling?” should be avoided and replaced
with more specific questions such as “Are you happy/sad today?” “Are you feeling
leg cramps or stiff joints?” Specific questions are more prompted to result in
clear replies.
Some ASD seniors may panic one day when they realize that they have lost their
hearing or can no longer see, so all eyes should be on them to understand the
unspoken words of what is happening.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.
If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:
1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others.
Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
(optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
the focus to drift outside.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
(forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported on our website
* Epilepsy Safe Profile: this profile enables people with epilepsy to safely
use the website by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flashing
or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
* Vision Impaired Profile: this profile adjusts the website so that it is
accessible to the majority of visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight,
Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
* Cognitive Disability Profile: this profile provides various assistive
features to help users with cognitive disabilities such as Autism, Dyslexia,
CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements more easily.
* ADHD Friendly Profile: this profile significantly reduces distractions and
noise to help people with ADHD, and Neurodevelopmental disorders browse,
read, and focus on the essential elements more easily.
* Blind Users Profile (Screen-readers): this profile adjusts the website to be
compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A
screen-reader is installed on the blind user’s computer, and this site is
compatible with it.
* Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables
motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab,
Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M”
(menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to
jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its
family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as
light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color
schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
options.
3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
and CSS flashing transitions.
4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
elements only.
5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
entire website instantly.
6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
phrases, initials, slang, and others.
7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Assistive technology and browser compatibility
We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
