This might be one for the Moderators to look into, but I wonder if others have insight on this.
I've had several conversations recently with professionals dealing with adults on the spectrum who've just spouted the triad of impairments, or who've said its all in the triad of impairments.
With all the literature on theories about autism and various interpretations, and approaches to treatment, I could quite understand professionals looking for the easiest synthesis to hand. But what is to hand? Is it just too easy to read up on the triad and related summaries? Or is there nothing else to hand for professionals to use.
The Triad of Impairments, as far as I can see, is of no more value than for diagnosing children. It has little relevance to the everyday lives and experiences of adults, and is hardly appropriate to helping professionals understand adult needs.
It doesn't explain a lot of issues facing adults.
But just what are the main texts used by professionals? And how useful are these texts for supporting adults?
JUST the money tree talking, the gate keeper of knowledge, certificate or do not pass go printers, the hub point. A business , good if you can get it.
it is a double dip, millions of funding from the taxpayers and a private income.
Stop selling Autism !
THE NAS SHOULD BE IMPARTIAL AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE WITH AUTISM, NOT THE PARENTS, NOT PROFESSIONALS, NOT THE WIDER SOCIETY.
I WANT AN NATIONAL AUTISM ORGANISATION, WHICH HELPS ME, A SUFFERER WITH AUTISM GET DIRECT ASSISTANCE, NOT A TALKING SHOP WHICH MAKES COIN OUT OF AUTISM !
THE NAS, JUST DON'T GET IT ! THE NAS SHOULD BE A CORE CENTRED ORGANISATION AROUND ADULTS/CHILDREN WITH AUTISM, BUT IT IS RUN LIKE A DEPARTMENT OF AUTISM, WITH ADULTS WITH AUTISM ON THE EDGE, IGNORED AND LABELLED AS THERE PATIENTS.
NO ONE WORKING FOR THE NAS SHOULD BE NT AS AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE NOT DUMB. THE AUTISTIC COMMUNITY SHOULD BE SELF-REGULATING BY AUTISTIC PEOPLE.
