Hi everyone , ive been reading all you're comments & i see that others who are autistic or have autistic kids / teens / younger adults, themselves have the same problem as me / we, as autistic adults
We as autistic adults should have a service / support & a LA that should be helping us.
But they tend to get out of this by putting a HF label on you to stop you getting any help at all.
There has to be changed & no labels or outdated terms , money driven LA who have no qualifications or idea or education in autism.
From my own experience of fighting my LA 4 years & 2 care packages that were an absolute joke. That caused a big impact on my mental health. Ive attempted my life many times. And this one factor with autistic adults. No help means, isolation from society, no support , means we cant navigate the world ( hard as it is already seening & feelin the world differently) . No service means, we are further ostracised from society . Due to not having said funds to pay private or many living in poverty.
Ive seen too may autistic adults take there life due to these many outstanding issues / factors.
We have a hidden disabilities its not something you can switch on and off or its going to go away.
I do this petition to try and get change & hopefully the support , not just for me, but all of us.
I dont want to see more autistic suicides happen or many in mental health units.
So i appreciate you & supporting me & this petition.. im only one small echo in the chamber. But you all make it louder by signing / sharing .
Thanks for all your comments , and being here with me
Take care
Kerri
