Autism Act 2010

autismtwo

Does anyone know, does the Autism Act cover Scotland ?

Why is Autism treated like a mental health disease with prescripted medication. I spoke to the disability side of social work today and they stated that they don't have social workers for people with Autism,, it is the community mental health team which deals with this side of things. I stated that Autism was a growth and development disorder not a mental health condition, only social difficulties under high level sensory stimulas. 

It seems,  I have been classified as MENTAL !, I have spend no time in a mental health hospital ?

I am confused ? Am I a spastic, mad or just some one with social sensory difficulties ?

Please someone enlightenment ?

  • The autism act and equalities act etc are all great in theory, the problem particularly if the nhs trust is foundation status is the CQUIN targets rely on self collated evidence. There is a conflict of interest and the recurring theme with this is revenue streams. For all the fine words unless you are a revenue stream-your an inconvenient cost. Having had the benefit as a child being diagnosed and now 34 I can tell you that other than lip service promises to assist will never materialise. Also since Ian Duncan Smith has been on the scene it is abundantly clear by his views on disabled worker factories we are scum. While the NAS sit back and I stand to be pennyless and homeless- I have tried all angles and got knowwhere. Disabled genocide in my opinion
