hi everyone 

Sorry i have been quite again, i am still here, but sometimes i get exhausted and drained being another autistic advocate and a voice like many others. 

I was recently on a short holiday, just back to a 2nd home ( ie belfast to see family) 

Moving on, not just us late diagnosed autistic adult with no service or community or support. Its the dwp system & how inhumane & dehumanising it is. And now they have gone totally tolitaren. And want many sick & disabled and vulnerable forced back into work or sanctions or benefits stopped & nhs prescriptions etc stopped.

Its one thing after another and its getting worse. My mental health is a shitshow and now its impacted by this constant worry of am i gonna be homeless what about my adhd meds etc ( yes it a worry for millons of us. Having suicide ideation I am scared this will send me over the edge Having ptsd. And like most autistics we are a higher risk to suicide and that revolving door. I am amazed i reached 37 this year. 

Every waking day is a battle for me in any given situation. And most autistics adults a like. I will fight this petition as much as I can. And with all yours help and signing and sharing it gives me a wee bit of hope. 

So i can't thank you all enough 

Kerri
