Hi everyone & all that have signed & shared I truly appreciate it, please keep sharing & signing . If you can donate to it in the advertising section , so more will sign ( I donate to myself ) £10 a month or when I can.
Also, i like to tell you about how autistic adults like myself are denied the said help / services/ support. From many LA ( councils in England)
The high functioning is one that is stuck to you ( even the ones with low functioning can't get agency). But let's talk about us HF folks. The outdated terms of aspergers ( now know as ASD(c).. with this stuck to you and the term mild autism. They mean due to this said label of HF . You can apparently be independent & cope. And your not severe enough for help. While some autistic adults work & live life independently. They still have challenges etc. And for people like me I worked under masking and alcohol & substance abuse. A misdiagnosis of bpd in 2013, up until said diagnosis of ASD.
I've heard many stories on another councils ( LA ) who have put the HF labels on autistic adults & denied them services of any kind or help or support. There more interested in your money not your needs. Money is the only factor here. Not how your autism affects you & needs. Despite the care equality act / autism act. It gets ignored. Also it coming under as MH which it is not. That plays a role too. By law LA should help & not about money / income. This leads many autistic adults like myself fending for themselves. And it gets lonely & hard , and sadly many end up in MH wards or take there life. I fought my council from 2017 of my diagnosis and had to stop in 2020. It impacted me & mh so bad. I've attempted my life 13 times. It's so difficult & not having support fighting for everything. Dwp / esa/ pip / doctors/ ableism.
having the blog in 2019 was a start of voicing my experiences & many other things. I got sober 2020 & near on 3 years sober 10th Feb. I decided to become an advocate & another voice. Doing this petition.. in April 2022. Than youtube in May 2022.. to educate & tell people my experience of being a late dual diagnosis autistic adult.
I want to get of the dwp system its dehumanising / degrading. And make youtube a full time job.. please subscribe to my channel & help me out. Happy to share you business etc in links or shout outs in videos .. find me Different_Not_Broken .
Thanks for listening & the support
