You could be talking about my life. My family has the same characteristics, in my case both my parents and myself are clearly on the ASD spectrum.
I do think that there's a ton that can be done by support. I think it's especially interesting since, as my parents have aged, many of their supports have been removed or become irrelevant, as you say, making their neurological quirks more and more evident. I hope when we get older there will be a better support network in place for aging ASD folks.
In my case a big challenge for me has just been accepting that I do need a significant support structure, and not feeling like that makes me less of an independent adult.
