Hello,
NTs who can be most helpful are people who've established that rapport, and assisted with matters other than parenting, and intimate relationships. The most helpful NTs may also treat concerns from impartial perspectives.
From my own personal experience, and with many others involved with AspiesCentral, there is that need for advice to help Asperger adults with such issues as struggling with state govt. agencies, and their non-profits (whom state agencies fund) to be more responsive towards resources appropriate for clientele with least restrictions to independence.
Another “out-of-the box” approach (for lack of a better description) is to draw parallels to senior citizens in order to better understand the service needs of adults with Aspergers.
With Aspergers involved, the needs of both seniors, and adults who can largely function independently share a lot in common; difficulties with executive functioning.
Trust management services that provide services for senior citizens, who can largely function independently might just provide good examples concerning Aspergers.
Such services are not supported by state developmental service agencies, hence a private-pay option. Can private-pay options can be kept affordable? Are trust-management services a feasible option?
Specific support services involve the presence of "third party" advisors involving major financial transactions, as well as complex health and medical issues, purchasing a vehicle, understanding, and filling-out paperwork, and property transactions e.g., rental issues.
In an ever-more complex world, NTs and Aspergers alike periodically need to consult professional services to help navigate those "tricky" agendas that are a part of everyday life!
Thank-you
