I have officially moved out of supported housing!! I am in independent living now. I'm living in my dad's empty house in London (he lives in Cyprus). I will be supported by the National Autistic Society but I have this whole place to myself.

I'm free!!

Congrats!! This is the situation I am in right now (independent with support), and I much prefer it to living with other people. It is more difficult--I have to spend more effort on taking care of myself--but the freedom is worth it.

Keep us posted!

I thought this thread was going to be about John Inman.

Anyway, it's good to hear you are happy in your life SteelMaiden.
