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.

  • One bullet can easily hit any number of areas on the body and be non-fatal and be as minor as a graze.  But the fact remains that a gun can kill someone.

    A punch can leave a minor swelling, or it can kill someone, as a Google search will show this has not been uncommon either: https://www.google.co.uk/#q=killed+by+a+single+punch

    Even if you go by the fact that it was not likely the punch that killed the man with AS but the fall to the pavement where he cracked his head, I could argue that if I pointed a gun at someone and made them dash to avoid being shot and in dashing they slipped and cracked their head or they ran into the path of an oncoming vehicle, it would still be my fault for pointing the gun and making them respond or fall into the path of immediate danger.
