Hi everyone , I can't thank you enough we at 459 signed & signatures. 

 

I did this petition of my own back & my own experience ( like many autistic adults with aspergers ( now know as ASD(c). I fought for help & was turned down due to the high functioning label ( as we could do well & independently) most can / most can't. 

 

But there is still no help / support Services for us adults, ie outdated terms of labels, postcode lotteries & non existent support or due to age factors ( my area 16/25 / 18/25. 

 

What about the older late diagnosis adults like ( others ) 30s upwards ( im 36) still 2023 no help/ no Service ) fighting alone. 

I did a blog of my experiences & the fighting I did with my LA ( its all the blog).. than I went to youtube & televised my experience & talks & education & what its like to be an autistic adult with no service no support. 

 

I've seen / heard to many autistic adults take there life due to this factor & passed to MH & left to fend alone..it takes it toll on autistic adults. 

 

I am just another voice in my community with 2 platforms of getting it out there. There are many others too. 

 

I do this petition from my experience & for my autistic community / family. We need to change the system & more adults need a Service & a support hub.. with no outdated terms or functioning labels added with ableism & fighting for support & dwp / pip / esa..

 

Please sign & share..also please follow my blog - autisticandfindingdopmine.home.blog

Love you & thank you so much it means so much to a wee dot like myself
