New Statutory body as an alternative to the NHS for mental health and hidden disability

And one more thing to add before I bail out to walk my dogs.

The centres should fundamentally be tasked not just to help the person that comes there negotiate the problems they encounter.  They should address the systemic problems they encounter that cause them....

One thing that would stop issues ia if ALL staff in All Buisnessea had to understand all disablitys but Bo they go on a crap awareness course where a man in ansuit twoks them what aswers to give Eto pass a one page test

This is the very reason why urgent amendments to the Autism Act 2009 must be made, with far greater enforcement powers (in a similar way to the health and safety laws) and with massively increased provision for police investigations and criminal prosecutions of senior management who are found not implementing the provisions correctly - only when we as autistic people have ever more draconian laws to protect our rights will we ever get anywhere - there is no point in having laws unless they are properly enforced and there also needs to be greater monitoring and supervision of senior management specially provided for in any amendments to the Autism Act 2009 

Another reason for the post diagnostic assessment is that ever since my later in life diagnosis, I’m still trying to figure out all the autism jargon and terms and I still don’t know how in simple terms how my autism diagnosis affects my everyday life - some people still believe since my diagnosis that the only way to manage my condition is being not allowed to live alone and to have ultra strict military style discipline which such people would see as “care” and “support” - it should not have to be legally mandated for people to have the common sense to know to do the right thing and to fulfil ethical and moral obligations - the whole system is wrong on so many levels, it needs to be totally dismantled and built again from scratch 

If we're looking at evidence as to whether training actually makes a difference with behaviour then take the simple one of how people drive.  I've just come back from dropping my wife of at an airport.  For a lot of people (especially it seems to me with the big flashy cars) speed limits and indicators are optional.  And then there's the I'm staying in the outside lanes because there's a long queue to overtake and if I pull in then someone will overtake me mentality.

A friend of mine once suggested that the best way to improve road safety is not an airbag but a dagger built into the steering wheel facing the drivers chest.  Too radical perhaps but nonetheless the principle of those who are the most dangerous to society facing the greatest risk would perhaps moderate their behaviour - or by nature of Darwinian evolution mean that their genes are less likely to be passed on...
