We seem to have been experiencing sun dimming in Scotland for some time. It would appear they have been experimenting but denying it. We have to say a firm NO to this. This geo-engineering that the government is consenting to is causing a climate crisis by interfering with nature. They then use climate crisis as an excuse to do so called research without our consent. All the wildfires in the run up to this that were caused by under funding of land management, carelessness and possible arson.
I have been feeling ill on thick grey cloud day, which follows the criss-crossing of the sky with trails that hang in the sky and turn into cloud. It makes me feel drained if energy and disorientated. I have been experiencing this for a couple of years and have to were sunglasses on cloudy days to counteract it.
Sun dimming will deny people vitamin D which, the lack of, has been associated with many serious health issues such as cancer and MS (Scotland has a high number of MS sufferers due to lack of sunlight),
We said we will never allow what happened in 2020 to happen again. We cannot allow this.
Lorna supported: United States of Europe - Now!Il ne faut pas que le doublage disparaisse cela est une insulte pour ceux qui nous ont fait tant fait rêver étant enfant
Samuel supported: United States of Europe - Now!I have an Autistic daughter. She will run off and even if you tell her to stop she will not stop. If you grab at her she will recoil or possibly even push you away with one arm and say no.
Her only chance if she encounters a police officer is either that she is still very young, the officer doesn’t attack because she is a girl, or the officer is properly trained and never jumps straight to action.
I can’t even put myself in my friends shoes. Both his son and daughter are autistic and like my daughter it’s bad. They are both non compliant. So he has a boy that is dark skinned and at some point that boy is going to be tall and teenage. I’m worried about cops attacking my daughter especially after seeing that cop who body slammed that 100LB teen into concrete with no provocation. It’s worse for men and it’s worse for dark skinned people.
William supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesMy son has autism and was taken advantage of and used by druggies. Yet he's paying the excessive price. They wanted to send him to state mental hospital, very bad place to restore him to prosecute. I threw a fit telling them he's not insane, he's autistic! The court sentenced him with 2 felonies. For someone with the mental capacity of approximately 16 socially and elementary in comprehension, reading and writing. I felt it was excessive for someone with autism. I truly believe autistic people are really smarter and highly intelligent and lifted. However, it's trapped inside them, making communication very difficult for them. The judge should have shown some compassion but didn't. He's still on probation and none of the probation officers know anything about special needs or autism. It was shameful and disgusting to witness as his mother. I will never give up on him. He's finally getting help in developmental disability program but Medicaid makes the process extremely difficult to get him the help with living skills he desperately needs. This young man is going far if we can just keep these druggies and freeloaders from taking advantage of and manipulating him. He was almost off welfare when he met this bad person who got him into soo much trouble. It breaks my heart he's doesn't understand when someone is using him or manipulating and taking advantage of him.
From a loving autistic mom.
Kelley supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesThis petition is dear to my heart one of my pediatric patients was Autistic non-verbal
Tanya supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesI personally have watch people be treated poorly by bad cops on a couple different forces. I have personally had things happen. It's disheartening. I've never been in trouble and I'm 49 years old. These are things that are hard to get over, and create distrust for our first responders.
Deena supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesSo many are negatively impacted by the results of untrained first-responders when dealing with Autism spectrum and mental health issues. Proper Training saves lives, it provides education for the ever-growing issues plaguing our communities. This can also boost financial support for programs endeavoring to help those in need. This is a no-brainer, let's work together for the greater good of our world!
Melanie supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesThis breaks my heart, I am an RBT. I work with individuals with disabilities like autism and there needs to be better awareness of these things when police are preforming any sort of action towards another individual.
Hannah supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesI'm a high school special education teacher. I teach kids with autism, some of who are high functioning and capable of getting their drivers license. This normally is a source of pride for me, but with incidences like this, where police stops appear unwarranted, or where police use unnecessary force, or police use intimidation and tactics disproportionate to the reason for detainment, the thought of my student's driving and being pulled over, scares the crap out of me. Not only do all first responders need training on recognizing when a person has a mental health issue and the best way to help them, we need to make all law enforcement officers aware of the fact that their execution of routine traffic stops can escalate or deescalate a situation with a person with autism before they even get out of the car. I'm sure every force has their own set of protocols they follow when addressing traffic violators, but using 3 and 4 police cars with lights flashing and sirens blaring to pull over someone with a tail light out, for example, is totally unnecessary and if that person has autism, it can be disastrous. When a driver has no idea why they are being pulled over, being stopped by every black and white on duty that night can be unsettling and confusing. Now, if that driver is on the spectrum, that confusion can quickly turn to fear and that fear can devolve into defiance and self-preservation. And an untrained police officer would react like they normally would when dealing with a driver exhibiting those behaviors, and treat them as a threat. An excessive and unnecessary show of force has the potential to derail a routine traffic stop with a person with autism because of their sensitivity to lights and sound. This training might not have an effect on those who seem to enjoy wielding their position like a weapon, but maybe it can show everyone else how to not just deescalate a situation involving someone with autism or mental illness, but how to prevent the situation from going off the rails in the first place.
