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.

  • I don't think that not normally dying from a punch or what background he had is extenuating though.

    The point is, that the risk is there.  It's not unheard of that people have died from a punch.  This is why people have to have a driving licence, because a car is a very dangerous weapon in the wrong hands, so people aren't allowed to just get in and try to drive because of the risk.  So people should not be throwing punches because of a risk existing, and it's not as if we are talking about the risk of getting in an airplane and it crashing, this is an action of violent assault.  It can never end well.

    I don't care what background someone grew up in, it doesn't give them the right to do this, he was an adult.  He took a human being's life.

    For the record, I have told people cycling on the pavement they aren't allowed to do it on several occasions.  Are we all to live in fear of speaking the truth and trying to get people to follow laws that are there for a reason?
