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.

    What do you mean that Autistic people do not make unprovoked attacks on people because of their condition?

    This sounds like a GENERALISTION to me.

    Do Autistic people never attack each other on the streets?

    A Mentally Ill person might attack another mentally ill person.

    There is a rumour that all Autistic people are united  that is not true as people are not united by their disability..David.

    What I am saying, is that autism does not lead people to make unprovoked attacks on innocent people.  An autistic person may have a co-morbid condition that could make them behave like that, yes.  I just don't get why you seem hell-bent on insinuating that he could have been autistic (although the victim was) or are accusing me of generalisation.  It's not generalisation.  Show me the research that states autistic people are prone to this behaviour and I will consider revising my belief.  It has nothing to do with all autistics being united.
