A study into post school experiences of young people with Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD and Tourette Syndrome.

Life on the Edge of the Cliff was undertaken with a Travelling Fellowship from the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust to explore post school experiences of young people with Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD and Tourette Syndrome. 

Participants included 50 young people with Asperger's, ADHD and/or Tourette's, or their family members, along with professionals, practitioners and policymakers in three countries (Italy, Norway and the Czech Republic).

Researcher, Tracey Francis, summarised with the following dedication:

'This report is for the young people I met during this project, who were hugely impressive in their honesty,
intelligence, friendliness and ability. Also their families, who are passionate,
determined, and committed in supporting these young adults to find their place in the world.
Together they are an amazing resource. We are lucky to have them.'
