Wes Streeting's move against autism - NAS - time to step up

mrs.snooks

I'm aware that this discussion may get a little heated, but I hope that it stays away from getting too much so. I do not mean to cause offense or lead to any arguments. So here goes.

I woke up to this morning's headlines: 

Health Secretary Wes Streeting is to launch an independent review into rising demand for mental health, ADHD, and autism services in England.

I haven't added the link to the article as I know this will trigger a delay to having this posted. But I'm thinking you will have seen this this morning. 

I am so angry on so many levels. And I am hoping that the NAS is angry too and can respond to his move with a firm and robust response. Because.

Now, I am going to call it out. Mr Streeting, I think that this is what I would be calling: Discrimination. Discrimination with a big, fat capital D. Discrimination against a marginalised group. A vulnerable group. That deserves your protection and that you should have our back. As the HEALTH secretary. Shame on you. Shame on you.

I may not respond to any responses to my thread, if it gets too heated. And I am happy for the thread to get locked or removed.

It's time to Step Up.

  • 3 reasons why so many people more people are seeking help with their mental health that spring to mind to me are:

    mental health is declining

    society is becoming aware of existing mental health difficulties they have been experiencing for years

    more people are finding it a useful strategy to live in current society

    a seperate 4th that measurement and reports of it are incorrect

    A 5th that Martian overlords are beaming neurodivergence waves to earth prior to their landing spaceships to take over the world.....................

    Oh and a 6th - that successive UK and international governments have made and contiune to make an absolute sh1t show of making sure that optimum conditions for public mental health have been maintained and would rather make enquiry after committee after sub-group after which clearing off and living in luxury in some tax haven with their deceitful, conniving and evil friends.

    I'll step up with a suggestion to any of those concerned who might be reading this
