Social services removing children from parents with ASD

NAS50499
over 5 years ago

Hi, 

I am an autistic adult who is a parent. Since having my daughter I went through a terrible time with social services who set me up to fail and removed my daughter from me because I have a diagnosis of autism. It took me two years to fight for my daughter back and through this time social services and Cafcass used the so called deficits of my autism to justify the removal and to stop the return of my daughter. Thankfully the judge saw through this and returned my daughter concluding in her judgment that I parent my daughter to a high standard. 

I want to know how many my adults will autism who are parents have been through a similar situation. How many parents with ASD and other disabilities and or impairments are being targeted by social services and having their children removed? If you have experienced this please tell your story because the current system is outrageously discriminative against parents who have a disability and or impairment and I would like to raise awareness of the current failures within the current child protection system which is targeting parents with disabilities and or impairments so that change can happen.

    I am currently going through an appeal as my daughter  was put up for a placement order due to my autism they constantly said I was aggressive and being a black male athletically built and autism I am at a great disadvantage they refuse to accept responsibility for antagonising vulnerable adults by forcing them to wear a face visor during covid that neither protected anyone but only caused the wearer difficulties failing to understand the impacts of their threatening professional gaslighting and intimidating behaviour they manipulate and rely on the consequence and not the cause of the behaviour which would bring their behaviour into question easier to wind up a vulnerable adult then say look look how there being very pasive aggressive and dangerous and major causes of concern especially in a safeguarding role around children for an autistic person who has poor emotional regulation and the risky behaviours
