Today I sent off a letter of complaint to my local Community Mental Health Team, and it was a great relief to get it off my chest.
In the letter I wrote that, maybe I am naive, but I assumed that the Autism Act 2009 meant that I would gain access to therapy tailored to my needs; that anxiety, it seems, is given short shrift because it is not considered an 'illness' in the same way that depression is - I can get out of bed, no matter that I suffer chronically 24/7. This is the essence of what I wrote, and I requested therapy from someone who is autism aware, and that the therapy should last longer than the standard 6 weeks.
The letter was addressed to the head of the mental health team.
