Autism Act and Local Authority Housing

Paull

I asked the local council for housing help and heres the reply.

"You have asked us to help you find a new home and you gave us some medical information, which our Medical Adviser has looked at. He has not awarded you any medical points at this time. This is a diagnosed ill health or disability, but not of significance to current or future housing needs."

------------------------------

So I have ASD as well as severe hyperacusis, I am in dire need of somewhere quiet because noise is giving me so much distress and they say my condition is  'not of significance'....So where does the Autism Act come into this ??? can anyone give me any advise or help thanks.

    That is why you need law and a governing body or a regulator to act on your behalf. The NAS should have an advocate network service acting as responsiblity intermediate to the autism community to remedy these problems. If not,  why even exist as an organisation NAS  ? As you make no difference in the daily lives of people with autism.
