Hello @LxA.
Here is a article on assisted or supported accommodation https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/care/housing-options/assisted-living-and-extra-care-housing/
Regarding the other part of your question, it is up to you and your family to decide. -
Welcome to the community @LxA
How are you doing today? Lots of people with autism are parents, autism isn't a reason to not start a family.
Do you want to tell us a little more about yourself?
