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.

  • ...if we all deserve a vicious punch for having the wrong expression on our face, society would be decimated within months or less.  There are many people out there with unfortunate faces, just because that's how they were born, so are we to summise that if you are ugly or unintentionally sour looking that means you automatically deserve a punch when you question someone's actions?

    I have personally suffered a physical attack, without any provokation or knowing who the person was.  They falsely accused me of something I didn't do, clearly because they didn't like the look of me for some reason and I tried to walk away but was attacked from behind.  I suppose I deserved it because I have Asperger's and was different to everyone else.

    Why legally, should he have backed off?  Is there a law that says you are not allowed to question someone not following the law?  How do you account for citizen's arrests then - which are most likely to involve physical contact and worse?

    It just seems like you are saying that autism automatically made him in the wrong.  Why isn't the volatile and violent NT in the wrong?  He used words, words don't kill someone, his assailant could have used words to express his annoyance.

    If more people stood up to law-breaking society would be a lot more orderly and self-controlled, because the significant minority that think they can do what they want and sod the consequences would see that culturally they wouldn't get away with it.
