In 2010 the Welsh Assembly Government commissioned the Universities of Bangor and Glamorgan to undertake research into the prevalence of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in older people in Wales and their needs. The research report ‘The Circumstances and Support Needs of Older People with Autism’ was published in February 2010. In response to the recommendations in that report the Deputy Minister for Social Services decided that the Welsh Assembly Government should host a two day Adults with Autism focused conference to enable local ASD Leads, Regional and National Officers, key practitioners and stakeholders to share models of good practice and discuss and plan ways forward to meet the needs of adults with Autism living in Wales. Day one focused on Local, Regional and National Development in strategy, commissioning and delivering services. Day Two focused on older people with ASD, research outcomes and delevoping an agreed plan. This report outlines the itinerary and major points raised from workshops during the conference.

This report launches a new Joseph Rowntree Foundation research programme, Transitions After 50. The programme addresses the issues that arise for people making the transition from work to retirement, especially those for whom withdrawal from work becomes an issue before the state retirement age. It collects together information on what is presently known about three aspects of this transition. First, older people’s opportunities at work and their fortunes in the labour market. Second, the effect of working patterns in later life on retirement income. And third, the ways in which people over fifty develop unpaid activities, such as volunteering and caring, beyond the context of paid work. The three areas are addressed in the form of three separate research reviews.
