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.

  • The thing that struck me about the story was the judge. He is young in comparison with his fellows, a mere 63, but I always wonder, in an age when many people are being pushed out of work earlier even when the pensionable age has been pushed later - judges are considered to improve with age.....

    But this judge courts controversy. He has on a number of occasions meted out lenient sentences and made controversial comments seeming to favour the criminals.

    And he lives in a house in the country worth over a million pounds.

    So out of touch with the real world, eccentric, likes to draw attention to himself....

    Are we looking at the real issue here.......

    As regards the assault, subsequent fall injury is a tricky one. The punch was hard and malicious, but the victim falling didn't necessarily lead to an injury from which he died.

    We live in a society where there are a lot of young people walking about with stored up resentment and anger. A lot of crimes result from this.

    The big problem we have at the moment is we are governed mostly by people whose backgrounds and daily life experiences are quite atypical of the vast majority of people in this country - like a cabinet full of Eton chummies.

    What we need to try to do is to ensure those that make decisions live in the same world as ourselves.
