PLEASE SIGN THE AUTISM ADULT STRATEGY

[gromitdoo]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can everyone who has a loved one or knows someone on the autistic spectrum fill in the link below. It is a petition to ask your MP urging them to act to make sure that the Autism Strategy is good enough. It might hopefully make a difference to all families who are affected by autism, as at present there is NO guarantee that we will receive any help when our children finish off from school. I have a lot of friends who have been let down by the system and it is heartbreaking to see them in the mess they are in. I know a lot of you have already filled the petition and I am very grateful for it but we need to do more to achieve our goal.

Yes I did it a while back and I speak as a Grandma of a little boy who thankfully is on the lower spectrum, but nevertheless needs all the support he can get, I worry about his future despite the love of a good family.

I have a gorgious little niece who unfortunately appears to be on the spectrum. I called it on her birth video my brother sent me ..hours after she was born.....it was a 10 second video and she was following people voices with her eyes even though babies are born blind......dont ask how I call these things....I just jump to rediculous conclusions in life from practically no evidence then turn out to be right (eventually).
I myself should have been diagnosed as autistic when i was 16 (when i left school and went into the real world),......was seeing a psychologist at 16 as I looked sterioytypically old school autistic (before the overdiagnosed AS)..and took me into my 20 s to start looking normal (ish) in life.
I went to get assessed for AS 3 years ago ....but bottled pushing it through as anxiety levels were off the map about it, so deliberately stopped short on the evidence needed and phsychitrastrist asked for tiny bit nore evidence NOW as i am today to push it through, although confirmed that every psychaitrist in the world would have diagnosed me immediately in my teens

It breaks my heart to see my niece suffering.She is very bright and always has been since birth (shes 2 and half now) but screams the place down when she cant go where she wants (even though we are looking out for her safety which is why we stop her going to potentially dangerous places). And still hasnt said a word yet, although Im sure she said something cleaarly audible when she was only 3 months. She has these tantrums that seem to be clearly showing her not being a bad kid but having trauma.
