So, if you aren't all bored with me banging on about this topic yet, here's another call for opinion.
In my quest to secure some proper support to get through my own GPs doors nevermind survive hospital treatment, it seems I have secured a meeting with the Comissioners for Coventry and Warwickshirs Partnership Trust to talk about improving the offer for autistic people. (Currently this sucks, simply because no one can wrap their heads around the issues). I'm not imagininging this is a local problem at all. The problems are likely the same nationwide.
In this meeting, I'll be banging on about my own barriers, of course, but this isn't just my issue, is it? I am no more than just one example, or case study, here.
So, what do you want your local trust to offer you to better access your health care? I'll take all your ideas forward with me to that meeting.
I prefer email contact, but am not sure how frequently my surgery check their 'in' box.
The advantage of an email conversation is that it can be read back, and people are usually concise.

Yes sometimes I've been so fearful of going in and so concerned I won't express what wrong in the right way, I've written, only to have to chase this up 6 weeks later to find nobody read it.
