i have autism, I find it better when I have an emotional anchoer, about, another person I know that can take the focus of me or the the surroundings so I am concentrating and not getting flooded by the environment, like watching the TV I suppose. An anchor person.
Does onyone else do this and does it help much ? and who the person, a family member, support worker or friend ? Is it down to trust ?
The annoying issue for me, is the total disparity in the system,, post code lottery and chance.
In surrey they set up private autism schools, in the inner cities you end up with a mental health problem due to lack of support, then you get support.(paradox). The UK is still such a country of economical and social divide. Running of crisis management because there is no pre-planning or standard guidelines being instrumented across the country.
It would be good to have list of what assistance you should be getting if you have autism, as it seems to me that no one knows, not even the professionals involved in the condition.
How about an Autistic Regulator body ?
Give me the job !
