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 anyone is claiming the killer was NT, but likewise it has not been claimed that he had mental health issues or anything else - as would normally come to the fore with tabloids digging up everything salacious they can.  I also would have thought that his laissez faire mother would have been quick to use mental ill health as an excuse were it present.  Even if he had a mental illness, he should be securely locked up and given appropriate treatment anyway for a very lengthy period.  Anyone who thinks that behaviour is acceptable, in their right mind or not needs removing from society for everyone's safety.  It's different if someone was defending themselves from attack, but this poor man was stood their with his arms by his side, clearly calm whilst this animal viciously lunged out at him with full force.

    I never will understand that people get off with lighter sentences by admitting they did it. The logic (or lack thereof) is astounding.

    Whether the victim had autism or not, what he suffered deserves appropriate punishment.

    The title is right, UK justice isn't fair.  It's injustice.
