ADS Rights

Hello everyone,

I have a question for the community. As someone with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), I have noticed that people with ASD often don't stand up for themselves like other minorities do. I wonder why this is the case?

We see people from other minorities fighting for their rights, making their voices heard, and advocating for themselves. However, I feel that this is not the case for individuals with ASD. We often keep to ourselves, avoid conflict, and are generally less assertive.

I believe that it is important for people with ASD to stand up for themselves and to advocate for their rights. This is not only important for our own well-being, but also for the betterment of society as a whole. We can't expect change to happen if we don't speak up take action that inpacts the system which keeps us in these chains ?

So, why do you think people with ASD don't stand up for themselves like other minorities? And what can we do to change this? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this topic.

  • As previously mentioned I run a website that helps autistic people defend their own rights by providing legal information (not advice, we are not lawyers).

    There is a new petition on the parliament website to extend QOCS to discrimination cases. If you don't know what QOCS is don't worry. It's the rule that makes it financially viable for personal injury lawyers to offer a no win no fee option. Expanding it to discrimination cases would mean autistic people (and people suing for discrimination more generally) could get no win, no fee lawyers too.

    The website is supporting the petition with out QOCS to discrimination campaign. You can find the campaign page here. Please consider signing the petition but even more so please share the page as widely as possible.

    Incidentally if anyone wants to contribute creatively (images videos etc) to this campaign don't hesitate to contact me.
