孤独症，老何所依

Core Viewpoint - The urgent need for future care planning for individuals with intellectual disabilities is highlighted, as many are currently reliant on aging parents for support, raising concerns about their long-term care as parental health declines [2][3][10]. Group 1: Current Family Situation - A significant majority (87%) of caregivers for individuals with intellectual disabilities are mothers, with 64% also caring for other family members [3]. - 49% of parents are full-time caregivers, and 16% are single or single-parent households [3]. - The report indicates that 50% of individuals with intellectual disabilities can participate in daily life with prompts, while only 15% require constant care [7]. Group 2: Awareness and Planning - Only 11% of families have long-term care plans for their intellectually disabled children, often due to limited economic resources, knowledge, and complex family dynamics [10][9]. - Awareness of special needs trusts has increased significantly, with 61% of families now informed, compared to previous years [15]. Group 3: Service Supply and Demand - The demand for care services is rising, but the supply remains insufficient and unevenly distributed, particularly for older individuals with intellectual disabilities [12]. - As of 2024, there are 10,004 institutions providing care services for disabled individuals, with 225,000 receiving care through various means [11]. Group 4: Innovative Solutions - New legal frameworks are emerging, such as the designation of social institutions as guardians for individuals with mental disabilities, which provides a new option for care [16]. - Special needs trusts offer legal and financial safeguards for the care of individuals with intellectual disabilities, although operational models need refinement [15].
