Background: The number of people with intellectual disabilities reaching retirement age has risen by more than two thirds in the last decade.
Objective: Due to the high number of retirements in this group of persons, the facilities for integration assistance are required to provide appropriate offers, both in terms of the transition to retirement and the course of retirement.
Methods: Interviews on retirement planning were conducted with aspiring pensioners from several workshops for disabled people, which were mostly located in urban areas.
Results: These interviews showed that people with intellectual and mental disabilities wanted a balance between structured group offers and individual privacy. Sporting and creative offers were perceived as positive. Maintaining interpersonal contact is very important for the respondents. The upcoming retirement was seen as positive by the majority of the respondents because of the associated "new freedom". Only a few worried about the financial situation in old age.

Ankyrin Repeat Domain-containing Protein 11 () is a causative gene for KBG syndrome, a significant risk factor for Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), and a highly confident autism spectrum disorder gene. Mutations of lead to developmental abnormalities in multiple organs/tissues including the brain, craniofacial and skeletal bones, and tooth structures with unknown mechanism(s). Here, we find that ANKRD11, via a short peptide fragment in its N-terminal region, binds to the cohesin complex with a high affinity, implicating why mutation can cause CdLS.
