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.

  • Some Autistic people find themselves accused of serious crimes.

    The KILLER whether he was AUTISTIC or not probably did not think of Autism when he did the killing especially as he would be undiagnosed.  The killer was annoyed that his mate was asked to cycle in a dangerous place the road. I was told when I was eleven that by cycling on the pavement I endainger her husband with one leg.  I cycled away from her on the pavement but shortly after that I gave cycling a rest.  My Mother told me to cycle on the pavemnet but when she saw that pedestrians were annoyed by my cycling on the pavement she told me to stop cycling. In other words only children should cycle on pavements.

     

     

    The other point you get a lighter sentence if you plead guilty as you save Court Time.

    A Not Guilty plea means a Jury and a long court  case.

    A guilty plea can usually be dealt with in minutes.  The other reason is that Pleading Not Guilty is taking a gamble as you might be found NOT GUILTY..  It is good that people who Plead Guilty and do not take the gamble  should get a shorter sentence. 

    It serves the interest of justice if Guilty people plead Guilty.

    He should  have been rewarded for pleading guilty.

    If he did not plead guilty the killer should have got a life sentence with a minimum of say FIFTEEN YEARS.  As he pleaded guilty if he got a ten year sentence he would still have been out in Five years.

    David.
