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.

    Are you saying that Autistic people are gentile and not   violent?

    Many people in our prisons have some disability or other.

    Some Robbers have no disability and just cannot make ends meet.

    No.  I am saying that autism does not predispose people to violent attacks on others.

    No doubt there are many autistic people in prison, some may deserve to be there, but I would guess that many are in there through being misunderstood, unsupported, and misused in things like mate crime or simply because of not understanding the implications of what they were doing.
