Adult strategy

Mike Stanton

hi all,

not sure if this is the best place. Perhaps we need a category for campaigns. But now the government has published the statutory guidance for implementing the Adult Autism Strategy it would be good to share our experience of implementation around the country. In Cumbria we have a Cumbria Autism Partnership Board with NAS representation that is holding forums around the county to get participation from adults and carers. Nothing has happened yet. I will keep you posted.

Parents

  • My eldest is rule driven and thinks that others should be grateful when he points out the error of their ways.  He is very confused when his good intentions are perceived as anything but.

    It scares the hell out of me that someone will attack him for just being a good citizen.

    He doesn't understand that his sideways glances towards people he is uncomfortable with actually draws attention to him, as it is seen as challenging.

    As a parent it is difficult to encourage independence, when the dangers of being attacked are compounded by our children asc.

    The sentence does sound lenient, but not knowing all the facts, it is impossible to comment on this case.
